#geektree [4/4/2001] – Sarah & I

Hmm… now I’m confused. I could have sworn Sarah and I started going out on the 11th of April, 2001 (we broke up in March last year, only a week or two shy of our three year anniversary). It was only a week or so before my birthday; she was going to wait until my… Read more

#geektree [3/4/2001] – My dad’s better than your dad, rich shareware authors, the op-wars, Lord of the Rings, Ducky and the Pirate Ship

This is the first day I ran folding@home. Previously I’d been running distributed.net for years, even back to the 8100 I had I think – I remember thinking the speed boost up to the G4 was awesome. :) Plus, I berated any PC users who also used distributed.net, since it ran way faster on Mac’s… Read more

Where should I be now

Ye gods… I actually wrote this in between the 21st and the 25th of May, 1998, for year 9 Geography (why we were doing this in geography, I have no idea). I’m guessing the assignment was to consider where you would be over the years. So, without further ado… Myself over the years….. 2008 Age:… Read more

#geektree [28/3/2001] – Dialup vs DSL, evil Dingoblue & Telstra, Damn Peers, quiet brothels

This little sub-thread will look at the #geektree irc channel we all used to hang out in, picking out some juicy highlights…. man, I was a feisty little bugger back then…. All censoring added after the fact, unfortunately. :) [4:23] Sleazball: Presently achieving a beefy 0.6k/s.[4:23] Sleazball: Are there any major links down anywhere, any… Read more
