Computer Experiences

Experience is what you get, no matter what you wanted. These are my growth opporunities via computers. They say experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted. I'm not completely sure about that, and I often got exactly what I wanted (and then some) from my early experiences in Computers. This is the Computer stuff that's often too brutally honest to be in any Résumé, some glory, some shame. But just stories about me, computers and usually in the 1980's. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2019-10-09

1980 Cray Time
Boeing had a Cray-1 Super-Computer.... and since they couldn't use it 100% of the time, so they would sell/lease any excess computer time to companies that didn't have one. My Dad worked for Boeing Computer Services, selling that excess capacity. I was into computers and the only kid on my block or school that logged any Cray-time.

DoodleBook
DoodleBook: I hacked my MacBook by doing a custom paint job (with my own doodle on the inside), and making my MacBook a bit psychedelic. Later, I sold it and swapped the case back -- and kept the doodle.

Hack, Crack or Phreak
What are Hackers, Crackers and Phreaks? I did a little of all three, but that was decades ago (literally), and in computer times that is ancient history. But the concepts are still valid -- even if I'm no longer "plugged in" or have lost interest in doing them.

Hacking
It is not that hard to hack into a network/machine, but far harder (and different) than the movies make it seem. There are many levels to break in -- from the ballsy "impersonating an employee" (social hacking) and just walking around a company, to stealing network traffic and analyzing it.
