Desire precedes creation...starting out

For a long time now I have harbored the dream of creating my own website, not the kind that you get for free where you do not have the freedom to do anything that you like. I do not dislike banners and ads because I know that they are very necessary to keep a website alive. But what I wanted was the freedom to show ads of my own choosing which would complement the website itself.

I did not want to sell anything nor to make a lot of money from the Internet. I do not know how they do it. I do dnot even know how this business of making websites work. At the time when the desire to create a website was sown in my mind I did not have a direct access to the Internet. I could go to an Internet Cafe and pay by the hour but the big problem was there was too many people and connections were very slow and prone to disruptions. There were only dial-up connections at the time. Surfing for materials online was not really so easy to do in those times.

I had had some experience with programming having started with a simple Applesoft Basic Interpreter where I would key in my program and enjoy watching it do stuff like adding two numbers together. I used an Apple II computer with 48K RAM and that was way cool at the time. The thought that I would be able to do even cooler things in the future made the business of typinig my progam every morning not at tedious as it really was. Tthere was only Basic and it suited me just fine.
