I am internet geek hear me roar...

Yup here I is, I what admits it.

I is a geek.

I always have been I expect, I've always been impressed with flashing buttons - that said computers and game systems didn't register until about ten years ago.

Before that I really didn't bother - not sure why.

Maybe I didn't have the time - or maybe they just weren't good enough.

I'm in my late (muffled breathe) 30's and so I remember ZX81's

I also remember ZX Spectrums, Commodore 64's and the first Atari Computer.

And they all sucked - Oh please don't - no - yeah you with the glasses on shurrup.

They were not cool - They sucked bung.

Waiting three hours for the 'computer' load from cassette to play a game consisting of one block character scrolling up a screen shooting lines out of his pee pee - ain't cool.

That's if it even loaded - how many trees died due to the consumption of power from these evil devices of children torture - they should have been listed in the geneva convention I tell thee.

Yeah - they had to exist so that others may come afterward - evolution and all that.

Just glad I missed the sticky, bubonic plague that occured betwixt.

Anyway I finally got onto PC's due to there possibilities in music - (ok that's a lie I had two disterous flirtations - both involved being at college stuying music - one using a crappy desktop publisher the other Midi - man they sucked - constantly crashing)

The developement is music software, primarily Trackers and Cool Edit 2000, really turned me on to PCs - so ok at first the PC wasn't nearly powerful enough - and it could be very painful at times but the results were there to see. Although it would take me a few more years to ditch the cassette four track and minidisc.

'Minidisc arghhhhhh!!!!!! I hope sony suck balls in hell for that.'

<----TANGENT ALERT--->>>

Yeah I fell in love with Mini Disc and recorded everthing onto it that I recorded - even bought the net md - to transfer music from the pc to player - but would sony release software to do it vice versa - not a chance - something about copyright - copyright???

On my music, what a bleedin' cheek - I don't own mini disc for anything else.

Can't even transfer it digitally - I have digital recordings that I had to transfer via analogue - ???

Riddle me that. Sony you suck - your playstation is cool though...

<----TANGENT ALERT OVER--->>>

Back to it -

As the software got better, the PC needed to get better and so my understanding had to get better.

I learnt how to install - oh Windows 95 how I hate thee.

I fixed PCs - primarily my parents - I couldn't afford one then - well I say that, I bought used ones that might have been best served as glorified bricks thrown through PC worlds window...

I also played a lot of Doom.

When I finally discovered the internet - (I planted a flag proudly, and shouted I declare this...) I put it back where I found it - Cor it was slow. Dial Up sucked balls.

I gave it a few more years, got into web design for a while - (this consisted of me creating the worste site in the wolrd and declaring my new proffesion as a dot com bandit...)

Why all this?

I dunno but if you read so far it good on you.

Cos I thought I had time to waste.

What I'm trying to get to is that now I would consider myself very comfortable with computers. They've come a long way in ten years and the internet is very cool, and can only get better.

This blog will act as my way of spreading the love, about stuff I found or learned or crap I fall upon whatever and whichever...
