It’s been awhile.

In 1997, while toiling away at AOHell - long days that will live in infamy - once upon a time I created this site as an organizer of sorts of the kinds of questions we would get from users as they unwrapped that nice shiny computer they received for their birthday/christmas/whatever and immediately decided that since AOL was on the desktop, by George they were going to sign on. Those were heady days indeed.

Yes, things spiraled out of control from there, which is where tech support came in.

At first, back in the olden days, the site was coded using notepad and manually updated. After a couple of years, the site switched over to PostNuke. Eventually, given other duties, and a general burnout on telling tales about people who were lucky enough to be able to turn on a light without electrocuting themselves, the desire to keep the site maintained trickled off. In 2006, the site was finally shut down for good, with a farewell message.

Lately, though, I’ve been feeling that urge again. You know the one. The one where you really want to tell stories about your job, but you can’t do that on your normal site for any number of reasons. It’s been long enough without anything on this site, though, and ther is just so much a tech can take before his or her head explodes from the sheer stupidity exhibited by a select group of people on a daily basis.

So join me, won’t you, in some diversion from all the other things going on in the world.

See you soon.
