 How did you get started in hacking/programming?
colbyolson: I hope there's someone out there who remembers this, but I started out on mIRC, first on a few IRC servers, but then got into the MSNChat rave.Writing scripts, prots, take-overes, and connections were just so fun. I loved the competitive nature, having races to see who had the better protection scripts. It was interesting to see how the community really grew, as it turned really sour in the next few years and then MSN finally shut it down.But thats what got me going. The feeling of writing code for something you understand, being able to think it out in your head and then just write it without having to check the docs. What a rush. I miss it, so now I learn python. :-)
