bluebeardFirst full day over.. BC, the guy who hooked me up with the job, said they were impressed with my half-day yesterday, which is good. Um. Don't really have anything else to say about it at the moment. It's an easy job, and I'm self-managed. Woo.
Edit: Gee, in my post-work bobblehead, I failed to mention why BC told me I impressed them: last night when leaving, Mark, the guy I answer to, asked me to go full-time starting this morning. I was originally supposed to work only 2-6; he asked that I instead go straight to 8-5 on my second day. I'm glad, yes, but hopefully the first couple weeks of that schedule won't kick my ass. I've never worked 8-5 before. I usually prefer swing shift, but I'm not going to say "no" to a full time job.
that's all, for real this time.
When did you first discover the World Wide Web?
Um. Lord. 1994.
What browser did you use?
Lynxie-poo, next was Arachne and Bobcat for DOS.
Were you on the internet before the WWW?
Yeah, through IRC on a BBS, and Gopher (a little) through the local library dialup thing. I had no idea what was going on with Gopher though, so I can't really claim myself as ever having been a real Gopher user -- I just poked at what links they had on their start page.
What was your first username or handle?
Domino The Cat, later shortened to Domino.
Do you remember the first word or phrase you typed into a search engine?
No clue. Probably I was looking for ircII for VMS/VAX; I had a stolen University of Memphis shell account. The first search engine I used was WebCrawler.
