I joined the nerdiest community when I was 12 years old. SDF Pulbic Access UNIX Systems is a non-profit Unix Shell account provider. When in the system offers programs and tools that are typical for your average hacker. I found this community in a Google search. The process of connecting to SDF was a challenging itself, but things really took off for me when I did figure out how to use the system. I remember opening up a black screen and typing in foreign commands in the shell to maneuverer through directories with using a mouse. This is still my preferred method of navigating through files.
I would spend much of my time on SDF, inside of school on my breaks and home. Some of the programs provided by SDF allow users to interact with each other in a chat room like layout. Programs like “com” are essential to the community, for it votes on how the system runs.
Rufus it sounds cool on what you into, I'd like to get into that type of computer stuff too. One day you should tell me more about that SDF and programming because it does sound pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteSDF does sound like a very nerdy community especially one to join when you are 12 years old. However, it is good that you are interested in those kinds of things at an early age because as you can see it definitely worked out for your future in Year Up. I always notice in class that you like to take on challenging tasks and you always over come them. From reading your blog I see this has always been your strong point and things will continue to take off for you when you challenge yourself in things. I just learned TODAY how to open screen through commands without using a mouse and you've been doing this since you were twelve. I really think you are tech savvy and have been since you were twelve. As far as spending that much time on SDF, it's crazy because I don't know any kid or teenager that spends that much time on a computer period. Technology has always been a part of your life and it seems it will continue to be.
