Early mornin' rain
Hace siete años ya andaba yo colgando cosas por YouTube, por lo que veo. Poco me imaginaba yo el número de visitas que tendría.

—a commentary to a post in The Joys of Teaching Literature, on "forgetting the pre-Internet past" and on our media metamorphosis:
I love this kind of post. A small comparative here with my own experience:
- 1st experience with computers in the early 80s... you had to load the system to the computer from a cassette tape (yes that's what it says).
- Began my MA dissertation ("tesina") by hand, and then typed it out first in a conventional typewriter for the provisional version, an electronic typewriter for the final one.
- Considered buying an IBM (the year was 1985) for my dissertation, decided on an electronic typewriter instead (you had to add code in order to write italics and so on at that stage...). But quickly switched to a Mac without a hard drive or system.
- First experiences with hypertext & links & networked computers in the USA late 80s.
- My first electronic publication in the Internet, in 1995. Sounds like prehistory now.Last century I advocated that our academic society (AEDEAN) should publish the proceedings online, and I guess people thought I was weak in the head. Needless to say, the board disregarded the suggestion.
- I had to wrestle e-mail and an Internet connection from the University in the early 90s, as they were only bothering to give that service to the science departments. Back then people used the phone, and they still use it. Those were the days, and these are the days too, all the time.

Mi Millón de Visitas
Celebro por la presente mi millón de visitas largo en mi fotoblog de Flickr, https://www.flickr.com/photos/garciala/ :
Teniendo (con esta) 34.244 fotos, me salen a unas 35 visitas por foto. No es como para llenar una exposición en sala. Pero, hey, en los años del blanco y negro y la ampliadora, nunca le llegué a enseñar una foto hecha por mí a 35 personas, cuánto menos todas y cada una... —así que busquemos la piedra para darnos en los dientes.
