I like the story about premium Gmail coming soon: $25 for 6 gigabytes of storage. Instead, now I get 7+ gigabytes for free. I love living in the future.

Interestingly, somewhere between July 13th and August 30th, 2007 it got renamed to "Hacker News" (I can't remember that happening, or why).
Also, I can't remember how I even signed up for HN in the first place, but it must've been mentioned by pg somewhere in the early days (I'm 939 days old on HN today, and the site was launched 940 days ago.)

Wow I just looked and I also am 939 days old but I don't for the life of me remember coming here and thinking this had opened yesterday. I feel like I must've seen it on programming reddit or something because I followed that pretty closely back then.

It's still going well! That was our first blog entry, you can catch up the rest of them here http://octopart.com/blog .
Wow, we've come a long way from then. When that blog was posted, Octopart was running off a desktop computer that I bought for $50 at a yard sale. And I was sleeping on a couch in Andres room in his apartment in Berkeley.

It's weird how many of these links I remember as if I just saw them yesterday. Generally I have a memory like a sieve, but something about this format makes things stick in my mind.

I hate being a grouch about it, but I preferred the focus of Startup News to be honest.

The usernames are interesting. Some are still around, and many of them are (now hard to get) first names like sam, matt, greg, justin.
