Random facts about me
I learned computers at 4
The world of computers opened to me with Radio RK-86. It had 1.7 MHz CPU and 16 KiB of RAM, stored data on magnetic tape reels. It required me to learn Assembler commands to run anything on it.
I’m slightly color blinded
Green cones in my eyes detect too much red light and not enough green light. Such type of red-green color blindness is called Mild Deutan. The image above looks like scattered orange circles with some green circles, but I can’t distinct any numbers or figues out of it.
I have a perfect ear
I can play and write down a tune immediately after hearing it for the first time. When I listen to a piece, I say notes in my head. Also, I can isolate a particular instrument from a composition and listen to it separately. When my inner dialogue is stopped, I usually hear random music. Usually it’s something that I’ve listened before, but sometimes I compose melodies unconsciously.
I’ve seen McKenna’s Gold more than any other movie.
At some point McKenna’s Gold was the only VHS tape in our household, for a year or two, until the market began to saturate in post-Soviet Russia.
My handwriting is a disaster, despite the calligraphy skills
No matter how much I practice with Medieval Blackletter or Roman Capitals, my casual scribbling remains terrible. Sometimes it takes effort to decyper my own writings, that’s why I prefer to write down important stuff in capitals.
