PICS
Last night was all about the BBS revival. It was a random occurance that made my night. It almost took me back. Back to my first computer in 1994. It was a 486 built by my godparents' son. Complete with Windows 3.1 and a Dos menu. My games included Prince of Persia, Doom, Wolfenstein, Leisure Suit Larry and somehow a strip Mahjong game. It was hilarious. As you played more puzzles, these tles would become fade out to real a section of a sexy mostly naked asian broad. A very appropriate computer game for a 14 year old girl. Anyway, At this time, I got turned onto the world of the BBS by from computer class friend Dave. Who I actually wrote about on the boards a while back and then he contacted me over myspace. Regardless, I used my 14.4 model to connect to other people for the first time ever. I can't recall at all where I actually connedted to, but I do believe my friend's friend was a sysop at the place I frequented most often. Oh man, I used to play the awesome door game LORD and loved it. Oh Seth Able, sing me songs!
Anyhow, that all came to an end one afternoon when I received a phone call from the police. Now, I almost wish I could say this is because of l33t h4x0rz, alas, it was because a fellow nerd was somehow receiving death threats over this BBS. Apparently, he decided it was me and my friend doing it. His name was Eric and he told the cops I was making threats against him, his family and his dog. No joke. I was completely beside myself. While it was probably a bad idea at the time, I gave the cop such attitude because it was such a ridiculous situation. Sadly, after that conference call, my mom removed the phone cable and I was no longer allowed to telnet.
A short while later, AOL and the free disc invaded, followed by the confusing bill of $100+ dollars. "I thought it was free!". And thus, the act of Phishing emerged ...
Totally unrelated, the LA Tofu Festival is this weekend, Dead Rising is out today and Lumines Live has a Marketplace date of September 6th.
