The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

I still listen to the radio but finding music that I like is getting harder and harder

Corporate radio is impossible to like.

Wow, I didn't realize he is a moderator for that OSR group. He's removed me from the group.

Well, thank you for proving my point, sir. I recommend some cream to help build up a thicker skin if you intend to stay on the Internet.

ah.... the 90's

Fun fact: conspiracy theorist Do believe it's not butter

For clarity, I didn't realize this person was a moderator of said FB group. Now that I know, the fact I've been booted doesn't really bother me. I'm not identifying him because it causes @Umbran extreme mental fatigue when he's mentioned, and it's irrelevant because as far as I know he's not on ENWorld!

Via reddit of all places, I jsut learned about this topic

Eternal September - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

That would roughly be when I got on the internet, via a service called Toronto Freenet. It was a text only dialup service that I primarily used for USENET access.

That happened to be my first year of college, so the first time I got access to Telnet and Usenet (and tried out MUDs). Though, like Snarf, I was a regular on local dial-in BBSs for a few years before that, and walled garden Prodigy before that.

While I had dealt with BBSes and the like before, the first time I got really into the internet was with MUDs (specifically, LPMuds), which is also when I got really into C as a programming language.

Good times, for a very loose and counter-intuitive definition of "good."

I skipped the programming languages (I guess really basic HTML, if that even counts) and stayed consumer-side.

Radio? Speaking of the 90s...

Around the block, to the corner
You can hear it all night long
On the roof and out on Broadway
When the radio is on

Oh... anybody else listen to local radio? You ever get that band you really really dislike coming to town and the station plays the crap out of it? I cant wait until that show passes and then the music can stop ruining the air!

A couple of the restaurants I like play local radio. And after Thanksgiving, all it plays is Christmas music. I thought I was going to go insane.

Mine local station only does 1-2 days, but its all alternative Christmas music so none of the standards. Its pretty refreshing and just the right amount of play time.

I am totally part of that Eternal September, I heard about that long ago.
