Nov 16 2010: Unreal. I always got low grades on midschool maths. Went into photography and music and arts. Much later, in 2002, I started a business in webdesign. Programming in PHP and MySQL actually showed me my math wasnt bad at all, it just lacked real world application. And now I sort of like mathematics. I even watch lectures published by universities, in English! Not bad for a Dutchie bad at math ;)
