      People like to shit on LiveJournal, but having one inspired me to learn: - HTML/CSS - hex code (for picking theme colors) - how to make animated gifs - image compression - basic webhosting - basic security - a ton of Photoshop - content & community

      I only got an LJ after I turned 16 and my parents let me have (limited) internet in my room. Before that, I was messing around with locally hosted websites, custom desktop themes, DOS, and the BIOS.

          I spent hours tripping around BIOS screens, trying out key combos and menu options. No manual to guide me. I felt like a techno spy.

          And now I touch kernels and networks and work to provide a stable platform for millions of old and new techno spies.

          If you're disappointed with your progress, go further back.

          Did you ever play with DOS boot menus? They were so much fun

          I had setups for QEMM profiles to run certain games like XWing and Doom on my meager 4MB RAM computer, which I had failed to upgrade its ram several times (incompatible parts)

          I walked by the LJ office not that long ago, it’s underneath the Bay Bridge in SF east of Embarcadero

          Reminds me of when my dad brought me an old computer someone wanted to get rid off, he knew nothing about it, I spent countless hours in my room learning, literally starting from how to plug in all the cables <3 then BIOS how to install an OS
