About
Casey Cheshire works & plays in Online Marketing, Mountain Climbing, and Skydiving.
I’ve been in and around the Internet much, if not most of my life. I remember learning the BASIC programming language as a kid. I would use the pre-written programs in an instruction book as a primer and then build my own games. Yes I even wrote a BASIC dialup interface for America Online (AOL). The only thing missing was the cool modem noise it made when it was connecting with the network.
Later I taught myself HTML in the backseat of the car on a family road trip. I also remember yelling at the Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing software on our first Power Macintosh computer. My parents new I would need to type in the future and this software seemed like it would do the job. The frustrating part for me is that I got really fast and every now and then would make an error. Normally you’d just delete back a few letters and fix it. Not so with Mavis Beacon, that cruel program. It marked every incorrect letter wrong (and every letter typed after it until you fixed your error). It was a horrid program but I can probably attribute much of my speedy typing to it.
