Are you serious about not having short term memory?
That must be difficult.
Bless you too,

Hi Zac,
I am pleased to meet you here on this wonderful list.
Oh, this is OT, but perhaps not for the "Absent Minded Professor Type"
hacker. Remember that there is a fine line between genious and insanity,
LOL, per Nikola Tesla, my phantom mentor. Yes, it seems to be true, no
short term memory. Yesterday I got my Disabled Motorist Permit, so I can
park right next to the mall or store. If I venture out into the parking
lot, I lose my car. It is a green Camry so it looks like 1000 other cars,
so I have to contact security and they come help me find my car.
It is not so bad as my doctors have competing theories. 1. Theory is that
I burnt out my short term memory using drugs and alcohol, LOL. I have been
clean and sober for years now, but I am 43 years old. 2. Theory is that
since driving and parking is primarily an unconcious activity, I am
unconsciously parking and not REGISTERING my car's location in
memory. Thus it is always lost when I go to find it. Thus the solution
is to sit in my car an meditate after parking so that suddenly I am living
"in the moment" and the car location REGISTRATES in my brain. I am going
to try this last procedure, as I don't want to be having Alzheimer's
disease in my 40's.
Thanks for all who listen. Now you know alot about me and who I am here in
Hillsboro, Oregon, where all sun is liquid sunshine i.e rain, haha. I am
Rob, disabled Berkeley BSEE, now turned Gentoo Linux hacker. I hope I can
have coffee with Linus the next time he is up here. He works only 3 miles
from where I live.
Best regards, and sorry for this very OT OT subject.
Sincerely, Rob N3FT
