December Daily: time machine

kass asked, "If the you of 10 years ago could see you now, what would surprise her most?"

Hm. In 2008, the kidlet was in third grade at Montessori. I had lost my job and my mojo, and I wasn't yet working again. Apparently I was writing SGA, HP, and Hancock.

Probably we'd first have to allow quite a lot of time for 2008!me to be astonished at college!kidlet!

She'd probably be astonished that I've gone so long without writing.

She'd deeply envy my solitary room; in 2008 I was still a loud snorer trying to share a bed with an insomniac, but it took us much longer than it should have to get over the whole "married people must sleep in the same bed" thing.

She was in such a low point, career-wise, that I think maybe the biggest surprise would be that I have managed to get a job at Teranerd, where I work on spreadsheets all day long and people trust me with pricing millions of dollars worth of high-tech work that didn't even exist in 2008. Boring as the job is, I think she'd view it as a reassuring vote of confidence.

Also, she'd get to meet two cats she's never met before!

File hosting?

What are people doing for file hosting these days? I've got a music-related question coming up and I'd like to be able to attach some songs to the post, but I don't even know how it's done any more.
