Oh mans. There were a lot of evenings in middle school spent in front of the DOS machine running Telix, redialing and redialing. There was an IRC server (and kids writing increasingly annoying IRC scripts to kick people from channels ever more emphatically). There was Brett![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zip4096 figuring out how to make pine run arbitrary commands ("alternate editor" FTW!) so we could load up bash. There was that time Julian was pissed because I snagged files out of his home directory because he didn't know how to set permissions. The bizarre personalities. The middle-school crushes. The people that would mysteriously make their files world-writable. The online community that kept getting a different domain name.
And then they cut out, sometime within the past year or two.
But they're back up! In some form or another! Cool! "Services are still being brought online, and the full range of services to be offered are under discussion."

Date: 2008-04-19 01:40 am (UTC)You had a proto-blog, years and years ago, back on TFN... have you kept in touch with anybody? For a long time, I would get the occasional late-night AIM from FrEnZy. And I found Justin on Facebook, but I don't think he remembered me by my real name. (Brett/Zip and I both live in Atlanta now, and we hang out fairly often :) )
Great to hear from you! What's going on these days?
I was going to make a joke about hearing that LA had all of its transit issues solved and had become a great place for pedestrians (http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:M4o03prjc4gJ:www.pps.org/info/newsletter/april2008/los_angeles_now_a_pedestrian_paradise+congestion+pricing+LA+success&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us), but it's apparently so far from true that the very server the article was on is gone now (http://www.pps.org/info/newsletter/april2008/los_angeles_now_a_pedestrian_paradise)...
