Hmmm...lets see........
Ran an adult bulletin board with a friend back from around '91 through '94. Was at the same time working for a couple of crooks selling illegal software (I was the only person actually "hired", the rest were friends of friends) but learned some of the ins and outs of Direct marketing, then worked doing a big cad/cam installation for a clothing manufacturer. Then I went to a large Direct Marketing database firm where I satyed through 99. Stopped doing the adult bbs and pretty much ignored the net for a few years as I concentrated on keeping kids fed and clothes.
Went to work for the folks hosting the crescent sites in '99 writing tracking apps against about 250 websites. Got to see the adult side of the net from the backend for a couple of years. After Crescent went out and the company did layoffs in 2001, went back to a direct marketing firm during the day and started doing sites to learn the biz from the other side at night.
Right now I am still working fulltime days and trying to do various projects at night. After trying a couple of programming projects for "clients" have decided to pretty much quietly do my own thing, build traffic and write fun programs while I try to find the magic formula..lololol..
I also help my wife with the tech side for her jewelry sites.
Thats about all there is I guess.
