    Where was I on 5/26/2003?

    I was in an apartment about 12 miles from here. My website and webshow "Online Video" at www.loudmouthtim.com had launched a little less than 2 months earlier, and I had made the first several episodes.

    In the past several months, I had quit the computer school I was going to after finding out Penn State wouldn't accept their "credits" to add to the degree I already had, and the teachers in the school weren't teaching anything useful and couldn't answer my questions anyhow.

    I had recently gotten my first DSL connection at home after it had just become available in my area, and downloading images and videos and things at a blazing 80 KB/second was incredible compared to my old 56K dial up! My Dell Dimension 2100 was rocking a 1.1 Ghz Celeron, XP, IE6 and 384 Mb of RAM!

    I knew what I really wanted to do in life, but the fire wasn't in me enough yet to really take off and go pursue it hardcore. Plus, I was always either broke or nearly broke.

    I was learning about computers on my own, and around the beginning of 2004 I started advertising for doing home PC repairs.

    And other things.

    10 years ago I had just broken up with my ex-fiancé and had just graduated from Indiana University- Bloomington with a BA in philosophy and sociology. I had just moved back in with my mom because I hadn't found a job yet. Life was pretty depressing.

    Ten years ago today, @Kwitko, @TBonZ and I were getting our first sneak peek of the forums as @Shorty wrestled with setting up vBulletin.

    10 years ago I was not in Lexington, which was good, because I have no love for this town.
    It was also about the time I became an ATM repairman, which was also good.
