Freeze Experience


            The word "job" to me does not mean what it does to many other people. To a lot of people a job means that you must go to some place, slave over your work, and typically have absolutely no fun except the occasional funny antics a co-worker might end up doing. To me a job is much more; I have had experience with "jobs" since I was twelve years old. Not mowing lawns, not delivering papers.designing and maintaining a fully functional and surprisingly successful Internet business.
             When I was 12 I was really interested in the Internet and extremely interested by large mainframe type computers, I don't really know why but the immense power of these huge computers intrigued me. I would always visit sites about "legacy" hardware (very old sometimes ancient computer systems). .
             One day I stumbled upon a site that had pictures of a typical late 70's mainframe. I looked around on the site and saw that the owner's e-mail address was at the bottom. I e-mailed the given address and asked a few questions about the computer, and the owner's name was Jon. About three days later he replied and gave me his user name for a "chat" service so we could talk. We talked for a very long time and it turned out his father was big time into setting up major computer networks in Texas. We got to know each other and after a while he decided he wanted to try and run a web server (a computer on the Internet that hosts websites). He asked if I wanted to help out setting it all up for him and to help him run and manage it after it is setup. He never said anything about being paid; I was doing it just to have access to the powerful computer he had for the whole thing. The computer was a state-of-the art system with an extremely fast Internet connection. He got all of it at dis!.
             count because of his dad's work position.
             After setting it all up, an old friend and I designed the website for our business. My friend's name was Leenas, he is Hawaiian and I met him when I lived there.
