Well, i am an average geek, so my hobbies are sit at my computer doing geek stuff
like spent big part of my days (and weekends too) reading wikipedia space, technology and computer involved articles, read books with such subjects and sometimes grab some beers. I´m brazillian, i live in a city called Recife wich is located at the northwest part of Brazil, i´m 18 years old, i study computer science in college, and work in the network security area, i became fascinated for computers since 8 years old since my dad had a UNIX (i don´t know witch flavour) running on an amazing INTEL 80486DX2 processor with it´s astonishing 66Mhz and i just sit there right next to my dad and watched him type those really magic commands (rlogin,ping,uucp) and the computer responded with even more magic numbers and letters, that was incredible! I started liked space stuff about that same year (1996) when my dad brought home the Carl Sagan greatest works, Cosmos (book and VHS tapes) and the masterpiece Contact. In that same year my dad got a wonderfull brand new 14400bps modem!!! The dial-up ISP that we used was located in the city of Brasilia (more than 2000Km away from our city) and he started downloading the photos taken by NASA Mars Pathfinder of the surface of Mars at NASA website and we stared at the monitor waiting our "powerfull" 14400bps modem bring those awaited bits under our noisy 4600bps line, those were the days... |
