Am I imagining things or has there been a shitload of Monero developments in the past week?

An OS, new communities, 32-bit binaries, a tentative new GUI commit, and to top it all off the Nick Szabo article (just kidding about that last one).

2016 is looking great, and I've been talking it up so much that people in real life are even mentioning it by name these days.

I'm a person in real life... haven't heard anything on the news or anyone chatting up about Monero in my neck of the woods, lol. Actually, come to think about it, I don't even think I've heard my self even say the word "Monero" to anyone else. *sigh* Undecided

... I need to work on my anxiety of talking to people about cryptocurrency. People in the Bible Belt "don't take too kindly to no 'apocalyptic', NWO, terrorist funding moneys 'round here".

It's alright though, Monero is still in it's infant stage... but don't worry, because in a couple months or so we'll reach our "terrible 2's" Cool

Ahaha just say it loud right now: "MO-NE-RO".
I remember when I was young, learning programming on my own and having nobody to talk to about it at school. My biggest fear for a while was "how the hell do people pronounce 'c++' ? Do they only say '+' once? Or really twice? But twice is repetitive, if wrong I'll sound stupid".
At least with monero it can't really go wrong.

I wish I had friends like you haha. I really liked technology, but decided against learning it because all of my friends where either entering the general business field or the medical field.. so I took the latter.

Now I'm stuck sounding like a dumbass on these forums trying to learn the difference between .iso and .exe files to load stuff on my computer to run these abstract "nodes" to "mine" with, or if it really matters at all since I apparently have a low end computer that doesn't nearly put out enough "hashing power". I tried to stay far away from here to avoid that conflict and just post my noobness on reddit, but, I've gotten to the point where I really don't care anymore Tongue

1) You shouldn't be afraid to ask dumb questions, most people are happy to help in general, and I think it's even more true in the Monero community.
2) If we weren't doing that, we would never talk to each other in a meaningful way on this forum and in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space in general. This is all about a nice mix of computer science and finance/economy. Plus some sociology. And probably other disciplines I might not be able to even name. Everyone is a newb in at least one of those disciplines when entering the crypto/blockchain space.
