Probably about the time BBS became more popular. I guess there was arpnet, and all these nets, mostly for science, academics, or governmental. Then they essentially rolled it all into one and viola! The internet was born. (It’s a bit more involved) I’ve hosted BBS, forums, chats, irc, a fully licensed/automated internet radio station with live shows with requests et al, <deep breath> services, websites, you name it.
Unfortunately, my brain is shit now, and I’ve forgotten so much. So, sometimes I have to re-learn on a cyclical basis. Plus, the technology is moving now at such a blinding speed, what I did even 5 years ago is old school. Needless to say, I keep copious notes. Somebody is gonna go through all my stuff when I’m gone and think ‘What the devil? This looks like some weird kind of manifesto in some sort of long forgotten code.’ LOL
