It's too damn cold outside, so there wasn't anything better to do
Skills? Wha?
I've lost more than 3 times my code sources due to virus or HD crashes. My pentium 90Mhz died near 10 days before Asm'95 for Stars : WotW, but the HD was clean.

beats me, but it feels like there is some obscure lesson to be learned...

I wanted to impress chicks... FAIL
I wanted to impress friends... WIN
There was an older thread with the same subject but less trolling, wasn't it? I just am not able to find it. I remember writing my life story there. Maybe we should provide link.
My school friend's mother got me into it buy giving me her computer books. She was a database programmer of some sort.

A friend gave me a burned CD with TP7 inside when I was 14. At this time,TP7 was much better than girls ^^
i stare at blank source file and let my good looks do the rest
I made a demo about it.
In 1983 when i was 12 years old, I bought a cheap Lambda8300 clone py postorder.
I hoped to play games, but no games included... just a flashing cursor and keyboard for typing... what to do then..?
Then my father read the manual and found out it could be programmed.
So I had to try start writing games in basic... most coding was learned by typing programs from magazines and books. A good way to learn it ;)
Then in 1985 I got a C64 and began 6502 machine code in 1986.
In 1989 I got an Amiga500 and began with Soundtracker, DPaint and 68000 assembler.
Then PC in 1996 and learned 80x86 assembler.
In 2001 I finally got a job where I could begin programming. It was in C++ (learning by doing..).
Now I do mostly webdevelopment, but I never forget the old days from the 80's and the Amiga demoscene years in th 1990's. Its history now, I'm afraid.. :(

No one else was gonna do the damn job.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
It was the only fun thing to do with the PC, where my parents didn't say 'come on, could you please shut this box down??'
I think I stuck my penis in a donkey, but that could be the other time...
I can't remember, it was so long ago...
