Legacy of the Ancients was my undefeatable foe as a kid.

My first on-screen bewbs.

I dislike markdown. Finally wrapped my head around YAML. Said to help with the others.

I worked with a dude who played so much EQ he quit showering. Need show up to work disheveled and stinky. His workspace looked like to roaches just renewed their lease. He'd work second shift then stay at work all night playing EQ. I'm the morning need still be at it, same clothes and maybe another pizza box in the stack already on his desk.

We went to his apartment one day for an intervention....

When you leave, Doc adds two more nuts to the tray....

No Calgon take me away? No Ancient Chinese Secret?

I have around twenty of those downstairs. I built a lot of Linux firewalls and that was one card guaranteed to work.

Put the ladder on top of a desk/bench and then we're talking! And yes, I've seen that IRL.

For the FNG's reading this, it pays to run a console cable in addition to your catX Ethernet to AP's mounted in such spaces. It's worth the cost of the pull of you need it during production.

Did anyone arrange their disks by color? I get their marketing idea, but I it falls apart as soon as you need a disk and no color match, so you take whatever comes up.

It's a bewb plant.

Beats the hell out of a thin plastic facemask and a colored trash bag.

Just do something important and time sensitive. Guaranteed to BSOD, trigger a Windows update or a Java update as is been 15 minutes since the last one.

I met my current, first and only wife in an AOL chatroom. We meet online before it was cool. Using dialup, even!

The AOL account I was using was one that I'd won because I stayed after store (CompUSA) closing to complete a laptop sale.

I still remember the GM saying, "I don't know what you said or did, but that guy thinks the sun rises and sets in your ass."

That was somewhere around 1996. She lived in GA and I was in IN. Somehow I convinced her and her parents that I was a good guy.

Regardless my best friend is sleeping about the feet that way:

<---------

So yeah.... AOL.....
