  • I remember back before I got my own PC. My brother had Windows 98, installed Morpheus (similar to Kazaa).

    I looked for a game, I think it was some console game. “Wow, I didn’t even know this was on PC! Wow, it’s only 15MB, how did they get the game so small?? Computers are cool!”
    Every time I ran it, the screen would go all funky with every click and after a while return to normal.

    On a separate occasion I deleted System32 files (whichever ones it let me at the time), to free up space.

    It’s quite funny that a lot of people ask me for various advice, fixing devices, PCs, etc. just a friendly reminder to myself that everyone starts somewhere. Boy I messed up so many PCs when I was much younger.



  • I remember when Skype first came out, when I was a teenager. I called a random guy in Japan; he was learning English, I wanted to learn Japanese (as is tradition for teenage anime fans). It was a very kind series of calls, and we talked a bit about Japanese culture too. He taught me, rather patiently, how to pronounce certain basic words properly.
    It’s a shame the service was treated like it has been. There was great potential in connecting people.

    Wherever you are, random Japanese dude I forgot the name of, konbanwa!!
