I started all this because I like Slashdot and wanted to do a site just like that for librarians. Worked out pretty well for me. Thanks again* CmdrTaco!
My website has given me my entire career. I started a blog in 1999, not knowing a damn thing about servers or programming. Running a blog, or any website, was a challenge back in the 90s. I kept at it, learned how to program, got a job as a programmer during the first dot com boom. Kept at it and learned how to do sysadmin stuff. Started my own little web hosting company. Along the way had several decent professional jobs and always kept the blog and hosting going. I'm now a sysadmin at a small non profit. I shut down my own hosting thing in 2020. The site has become a bit quiet, but I still keep it running, it's just a part of my life I guess.
* I got to thank Rob here on HN one time a while back which was pretty cool.
