Guess I underestimated about the age..
I was probably more like 10 too, fucking around with DOS terminals.

I remember back in 6th? grade me and a few friends discovered an exploit in some kind of really early gaming points/reward type website. It was something ridiculously simple like just refreshing the win page multiple times to keep racking up points. We were ballin, rolling in free VCR's and vaccumm cleaners and shit.

Who would've thought years down the line I would create a lucrative career along the same line of bullshit...

Back in the day, I would exploit blackjack sites that would give you a little bit back for every hand. All you would have to do is bet the very minimum and you'd make like 15$ an hour or something.

I've been on computers since the 80's. My parents saw it was the future and wanted me to have a leg up on everyone else. My dad basically saw it as the automobile of my generation (invention wise this is around the time the PC boom was really taking off) and to a degree he was right. I'm glad they let me sit down in front of it and learn as much as I could. I don't see that as neglect in any way. They went into massive debt so I could have an easier life and it paid off.

This is exactly the way my parents looked at it. My dad has always been in the semiconductor business and he bought me a computer knowing this was the future.

8? Try more like fucking 6.

Touché

Been online since AOL was big when I was 10, but started designing sites when I was around 13 for Delta Force 2 gaming clans I was in. That was back when Flash was so fucking awesome to make sites in. Then I learned about Fireworks and Dreamweaver a year later and it was on to non-cheesy shit.

My first website is archived for posterity at the Internet Archive

Here:

My Cat Is Staring At Me.

It's pretty typical of my output.

Played on a commodore 64 back when I was a kid and soon graduated to an Amiga. That's when I got my first taste at awesome, cutting-edge games like King's Quest, Maniac Mansion, and Zack McKracken.

I'm barely in my early 30s but I can say my eyesight is shot, and I've spent 75% of my life in front of a computer screen.

I REMEMBER WINDOWS WHEN IT WAS JUST CALLED WINDOWS GOD DAMNIT

Kids these days with their xbox 2s and playstation 360s. SHEESH.
