“I was 10 when I met you, but 20 when I knew that you are who you are in this life.”
It started with a sports game, but I was always curious to know what was going on in the computer world, what was this box that I looked to like a space ship? First time I sat on this machine I was like, “is this true?”
“We played our first game. We were teammates, and we won it.”
The computer course time came. I went in that class interested more than in any other course. It was a basic-general-introduction about computers. And the typing. We spent like a year on typing, yea they were laughing at us, but I was laughing at them too. I got an A on my first final project.
“You left the team but I stayed out there knowing we would have another game to bitch at someone together”
Then came my first desktop computer, always having problems. To be brief I used to format it every 3 days. Once, because I was always playing in system files. We all know windows 95 which was like any Microsoft product with that blue screen. If you just tried to do more than the basic user, you go blue… My home internet connection was next, and I started to be the computer freak for real by then. Browsing, chatting, learning html and some C scripting. Developed many personal websites for my chat nicknames, IRC channels, mIRC scripts I developed, and others… without forgetting that I was called by my friend, a computer addict or that silly word “HACKER” which I used to hate because it means something different to me. I’ll tell you what later in this article.
“It was a nice game where we won by on the last shot at the last second by YOU. But give me credit: the assist was from me”
Now I am more addicted to computers and the e-world, I barely have time to go to school, if I am there I am thinking of what I have to do on the computer when I am back at it. My class mates never understood the algorithms I used to write on paper, but I did. By that time, I knew html by heart, and my skills in perl and cgi were getting better, without forgetting my networking skills and my good understanding of the operating system which got me access to many friends, computers or people that I had never met (my aim was just to look for girl’s pictures, if there was any pornography there must be someone watching it too. Get the dial up access, many dial up accounts and for sure I hate paying 100$ per month for it. I need to buy other shits too, so do not say am not a peaceful man, I am sure I forgot the other reasons too but I am an angel you don’t have to worry about).
“Now I am playing a game against you. I want to win, but we used to win and lose together. Like every time there is the first time, we won but you were the MVP of the game and best scorer if I am not mistaken.”
I built a big network of friends from the internet, all over the world, but everyone used to hate me at first, just because I was one hell of an asshole who likes to mess with everyone. To be honest, I got a few friends that became very close to me, and till today I wish them the best in their lives. But I always hated it, because it was pure e-friendship most of our discussions were the e-world. Or we want to attack someone or build up something on the net. Are you asking yourself what was my nickname out there on IRC? This one too I will let you know somewhere here. Linux was a big word at that time, but for me it was a new thing to learn, like if I was learning a new language but this was an operating system. I learned it a bit by myself. But when you talk about it between ignorants you look like an Alien hahahahahha (ignorants could be dentists today, engineers, or lawyers….) I am bored of writing it all, but be sure at that time I was the right person to sit next any computer and speak its language…
“This time, my turn to be the MVP in a game where you weren’t there at all, but my team lost too!”
All that period, I used to earn some money from the internet. It wasn’t real money it was just small change to enjoy it. I worked as customer care in an ISP, at the age of 17, at a bank as tele-support but didn’t have find pleasure working for anyone, so I decided to have my own company. I gathered friends trying to build up a system. Many of them left before it even began. I started to understand life and how business is. It was a nice experience in that project, maybe it was my first degree in business, it lasted for three years, but I built up a good base. Hey it was a web design, development, hosting, shell services business, not a law firm.
“You called me to go play a game after a long time, but as usual a fight happened with someone, so it was better to go back home hehehhe”
I ran a night life business (www.beirutnightlife.com) this was my second real project. It’s been running for 4 years now, but this project gave me another degree in sales and marketing. I learned how to build up a system, and successful one, don’t want to talk a lot of the project but if you go there you might understand it all.
“For now no more games, but a lot of other and much more important things to share and smile for”
A hacker is someone who knows what is wrong with a computer and tries to fix it, but as a human being likes to mess with things when they are wrong before fixing them they do what they do heheh. Maybe you didn’t understand this well, just e-mail me about and will get back to you with a wider explanation. Now after all what I passed for in my life, I have a good understanding of what business I should do and how to make money, for previous projects if I say it was successful for sure I would say yes, and I wont say it wasn’t, but I will leave the answer for you, if you knew the project decide if not just look at it somewhere, if it still exists, and have your judgment. Ok this was too long, but if I will write the real about me, it will take me a lot of time, so if you are interested to know who I am, just keep an eye on this blog, and you will learn a lot about money, and if you are interested to know how to learn something in the computer world, photography, sales, marketing, advertising I just might help you by my posts. Oh I forgot my IRC nicknames on DALnet network, Drackula but if you are afraid call me Dracky hehehehhe.
“Without you I wouldn’t be writing this now, and I wouldn’t be sharing the good moments of my life. Thank you is a small word, but if it is going from someone like me to you, you know it is more than 2 words, it is a lifetime of services and sharing” “But Today there is a major change in all this, and sorry cannot share it”
