20 years ago I played with our Atari and Nintendo NES consoles. Mario Bros., the first Zelda games, space invader-clones, .. they all timed out. Few years later I got introduced too BBS. Finally, after writing my first email using elm and pico, I mounted the Internet at the VUB (university).

Today, after 12 years continuously online, I work for MySQL/Sun Microsystems, and I’m bored with the Internet. It’s as common as a telephone, as useful as a dictionary and sometimes as pretty as dog poop.

Well, it’s still useful, like a bottle opener.. It seems that the only thing that keeps it alive is the flow of new buzzwords for old stuff.
