I REALLY should get around to watching this series. The guy making the documentary was going to interview me because I ran a bunch of BBS’s in the 1990s and had a LOT to say. That is… I had a lot to say typing. But then I backed out at the last minute because I BLUSH when interviewed… and I didn’t have a beard at the time.
Yeah. I didn’t go to conventions [OK I WENT TO TWO] – these guys were WAY MORE HARDCORE INTO IT than I was. I just liked talking to random people online, getting free software and… well that’s about it really and I did it a lot when I didn’t have regular life stuff to do.
I haven’t changed. I really should watch this. I have to get over the “YES I AM A NERD JUST LIKE THIS” stigma. I talk about it… but seeing nerds older than me that are doing the same stuff I did always feels … strange for some reason. It shouldn’t. I’m subjecting people here to the same thing. But I haven’t watched it yet because I was gonna be in it.. and I’m kinda wishing I went ahead and did it.
But naw. Gave more room for these guys to talk, and I’m more of a typer, not so much a talker anyway.
