The Internet Archive and Jason Scott are saving our weird Internet history

I've always felt a bit sad that my earliest forays into the web on Demon and CIX aren't fully captured here. You are all lucky whipper-snappers who have their youthful exuberance archived for when you're old and boring.

Give us time; things are popping up always around here.

Oh snap, nto too many CIXen still around. I came across some of my usenet comments from around then last year which was amusing and horrifying in equal measure.

I feel the same, although in a sense it was an early taste of the probably-inevitable privacy landscape that faces our kids, and has allowed me to embrace that with slightly less panic.

I'm glad that mine aren't, and that what is saved is largely under silly-in-retrospect not-tied-to-me screennames.
