Like any good Leo, I have a vanity google alert setup on my name. Leos are supposedly vain and if I am to be a good Leo, then I must vanity search myself often. Today, this link came up on my google alert. It isn’t new. It is old. It is from 2003.

I’m looking for instructions for upgrading firmware on an HSZ50. HP
says it cannot be done, but I thought maybe someone knew otherwise.I’m also looking for vendors who sell version 5.7Z memory cards of the
HSZ firmware.Thanks

In 2003 I didn’t know that I was a programmer. My title was “systems programmer” and we always joked that the title was a carry over from when any computer operator was a “programmer”. It turns out that much of my Systems Administration work in that role was not too much different from the jobs of many programmers.
I thought that real programmers followed all those software engineering things that I had heard a little bit about when I was on college. I thought that real programmers didn’t just throw code together like I was doing at the time. I turns out that I was wrong.
Of course life is a journey in which the destination is in constant change. I never did become what I wanted to be 5 years ago. I’m sure that my current destination will change over the next five years.
