Why Stuff Sucks
 
 
This crap all started in 1995.  No, not the internet, crap did.  I was trying to figure out how to convince another group of professors that really I deserved to pass my classes even though I didn’t do a damn thing and in fact barely even went to class.  Really, it was a lot harder than you would think.  The convincing them to pass me just because I was smarter than them part.  Don’t know about the classes, they might have been easy, who the hell knows.  I was constantly distracted by some new linux kernel or system tweak or finding a way to buy more PC hardware.  Once I even tried to buy an IBM System/32, too bad we forgot the address at home, 100 miles away.
 
ANYWAY, see, all the crap that comes out of me.  What the hell.  The point is, I needed money, some guy had this great idea of building web sites.  Web sites are like really easy programming, easier than basic.  Well, they were in 1995.  So, he paid me to write html code.  Really, all I did was write a script that automatically converted a bunch of Word docs to html.  Guess that was fancy in 1995.  He hired me.  He was so inspired by the concept he wrote a piece of software to do the same.  Officially the first WYSIWIG editor.  Together we started one of the worlds first web hosting companies.  Today I am using “iWeb” to create web pages cause I am tired of vi.  I can’t even figure out how to change the background color.  Crap.  I really suck.
 
Like the little curly and border thingies?  I don’t.  I think they look like shit.  But I am too stupid to figure out how to change them.
 
So it’s all the internets fault.
