Have you ever stumbled across technologies you used to use and forgot?

Just the other day I was looking over this long extensive application which listed every job I have ever had with dates and job duties. It blew my mind how much information I have been leaving off my applications.

I used to access Oracle tables to retrieve data and create reports. I completed had forgotten about this.

When I was in Logistics and Supply Chain Management I would utilize certain interfaces and pull results from some of the inventory tables.

Whatever you do make sure you write it down. Thankfully I like my current job, but I had been applying and leaving all those years of SQL off of my resume, even though it was used in a analyst/business user role, not a technologist.

Unbelievable!

I've done a lot of stuff that I either forgot or the technology went the way of the dodo. Netware Lite, NT 3.51... I was pretty darn good at Linux in the late 90's, but stopped using it in 2002 for about 6-7 years. Feel like a newbie again. Same with Cisco. Used it a lot in the 90's, then stopped for a long time. Now, it's time to get back up to speed. Earning my CCNA next week (Already have CCENT) and sticking with it this time. I used MS Access and Excel a LOT in the early/mid 90's, and did some awesome stuff at the time. Don't know crap now.

Didn't forget a lot, just didn't stick with it and update my skills to the newer versions and technologies. Don't want it to happen again, though!
