Under the hood and working with .Net, TDD, Software Design, and Agile Stuff
I just got done walking my father through some basic Excel manipulation over the phone. He's using a computer for the first time in his life after 30+ years of doing everything with pencil and paper.
I call it fitting revenge. I can distinctly recall a Saturday morning after a high school football game that he dragged me out of bed at 6am to help shingle a house all day and getting laughed at for being sluggish.
