Hi'ya everybody! This is a brief introduction about myself and my passion. I've been computing since my late-dad hooked up a TRS-80 on a monochrome screen. I was captivated by it! I didn't realize I'd still to this day
enjoy computers and technology up to the present and beyond. I upgraded to
a Commodore(tm) 64 with a 1541 floppy drive and 1571 color screen with an adapter on the back to get a color screen. Moved on from then to a C128
with split C64/128. The C128 was monochrome with more capabilities; I
don't recall doing much with it however. Then to a 286, 386 and on to a Pentium(tm) with a 14.4K modem. I found the Internet on the Wichita
State University bulletin board system here where I reside. It included
free Internet dial-up and Netscape Navigator for a short moment in time.
I'm a big fan of Mariah Carey so I did a google search and found IRC, so
I spent years chatting, hooking up my VCR to my computer to record MPEGs
and what-not. Then moved on to creating websites of celebrities with
pictures I found on a new world wide web. From then around December of
2009 I got an unexpected e-mail asking to start a Tradewars 2002 server
for this person and her friends to play on. I remember back in the day
playing TW2002. It was so popular back then. I remember getting custom
BBS screens with a couple of Co-SysOps that wanted to help me out. I
didn't know much about telnet and all that so I started reaching out to
other BBSes, figuring out various things like setting up message bases,
files areas and on-line doors. I was unsatisfied that there wasn't much teleconferencing happening on any of the boards I've called up to this
day. I found a Discord(tm) server with others with common interests as
mine so we got it off well. Interested in creating my own door, so I
started programming, learning C++, aside with a little HTML, PHPk
nowledge. After awhile I started running Linux on a console platform
without a GUI. I learned commands and such using Lynx. Stumbled on
my favorite distro, Ubuntu(tm), currently running Lubuntu unto late.
I found a lot of my favorite friends on a module for Mystic which is a
BBS software I felt a lot SysOp friendly, so I installed MRC using a
script. Just last night played a multiplayer game provided by Steam(tm)
and had a lot of fun. Well, that about wraps it up for me. Just al
ittle trail down memory lane. I hope you enjoyed it. You can reach
