Wombat Webmaster
His laptop must be hidden in the grass…

I love doing the whole webmaster thing.
Does anyone else remember when your company spellchecker used to correct the word “webmaster” to “wombats” if you weren’t careful?
Or have I been doing this whole internet thing too long?
I remember when the amazing buzz words were things like “file sharing” and “get answers in minutes, not days” and “Surf the World Wide Web to Find That Recipe Right Away”. When AOL was a force to be reckoned with and when you hung out in chat rooms instead of chatting in hangouts.
I remember when asterisks only pointed out fine print. When LOL was just the first three letters in lollipop.
Spell checker has been replaced by autocorrect. And we all know how amazingly much better that is now. Or not.
*sigh*
I still don’t really know that I’m ever going to completely accept some of the codes for degrees of laughter, because I know I for one don’t roll on the floor that often, but I do know that I’m totally down with the happiness, and I know I still love the webmaster thing.
The landscape changed completely, everyone who laughed at us back then has climbed on board, and brought their reluctant mothers and even five year old kid sisters.
Doesn’t matter. I’m still here, doing what I do, and I still love being a wombat.
