Last night I found that google has a profiling system that amounts to <a href="http://groups.google.as/groups/profile?enc_user=aUr-tBUAAABCJL1XF232c321fUdzZHNBHvpDciekf8j6JwqRh8YCsA">my Usenet Permanent Record</a>. From Dec 1996 to Aug 1998 I made over 2000 posts, mostly offering assistance to any who would ask on the wonderfully new javascript. It is almost surreal to look back and see myself over a decade ago, especially as I was inclined to engage in debates concerning the nature of proprietary extensions to HTML. I also was at a much different place programming-wise (and the client-side experience was a different animal too). This'll just serve to act as a reminder that everything said and done online has the potential to be saved for posterity.
