Call it writer’s block, paranoia, or a general sense of craziness, I made google searches with references to my name
and other entities associated with myself before, and I’m surprised to
see several relevant sites either by me, or referring to me, dating to
almost ten years back! I’m surprised the older sites are still up and
running to date. Here’s a rundown of several links,
ranging from those in the mid-1990’s to the fairly recent ones.
Browsing through some of the sites, in particular the BBS listings,
I can’t help but feel quite nostalgic. I remember the days when
the
internet was not yet popular in the Philippines, and Bulletin Board
Systems were the norm (well, with techies, at least). Email was
almost unheard-of, and people were still waiting ten years to get a PLDT line. I set up my
own board using an old 386 laptop, going online in the night.
Network-mail at that time comprised fido-net type netmail and echomail.
Browsing through the names of the people I used to network with via
BBSes (directly or indirectly), I came up with quite a few people who
are pretty much well-known and/or successful in their respective
fields: Sacha Chua, Fatima Lasay, MLQIII, Jim Ayson, Martin Gomez.
Ahh, the old days.
Help save the environment with new green thoughts!
