Love is like π.|Natural, irrational, and very important.

Ok, so it used to be that I considered myself pretty tech-savvy. I mean, I worked in IT doing tech support and designing websites, and I really wasn’t the “Manager Who Really Has No Idea What’s Going On”. I was perfectly capable of going out and fixing someone’s machine in a timely fashion.

I have realized lately, however, that my knowledge of all things technical stopped evolving somewhere around 2004. I mean, I can take care of my own machine, do basic maintenance, I know how to download and install *ahem* somewhat illicit software, and I play lots of video games. But when it comes to doing something like editing a .php file, or fixing a damn WP stylesheet? Can’t do it without scouring teh internets.

The really sad part is that this used to motivate me to disappear and devour every iota of information I could find regarding a topic. Now I’m more likely to ask someone else to do it. I mean, I give the obligatory show-me-what-you-did-so-I-can-do-it-myself-next-time speech, but really? I don’t care much. What is happening to me? Is it that I’m getting old? Lazy? Becoming a Luddite?
