Oh to be so young (29)

Oh, 2001. I was so young then. But my online life was in full swing. It just wasn’t stored in a database, so I would hand edit pages and remove old content. No source control, just gone. I eventually created a Perl-based CGI script that would allow me to save posts to a text file. I’ve “restored” some of these entries and given them new life. They didn’t have titles originally, just timestamps. Like tweets, but way before that was a thing.

Entries are a bit more localized as I was really just writing for an audience of a few of my university friends. And you will see reference to a message.board, which was the first version of my forum that eventually became Sonar.
