A Look Back to the Future

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

Google 2001This is sure to be wildly popular: Google 2001. “In honor of our 10th birthday, we’ve brought back our oldest available index. Take a look back at Google in January 2001.”

How cool is that? It’s pretty funny to do some searches to see what they’d indexed. I’m strangely proud to note, of course, that this site has been ranking #1 for the phrase David Gagne for a long, long time.

Displaying Older Posts

WordPressI’m suffering from a little bout of writer’s block these days. When you combine that with the fact that I haven’t been cruising the ‘net finding new and funny things, it makes for a dearth of new content on this site. I was thinking that it would be cool to display a single post from the archives at the top of the home page when there’s nothing new to see. Something like, “Hey! Sorry I haven’t posted anything new in x days, but check out this from y years ago …” I got as far as writing the SQL for it, but then I stopped working on it. I think it’s a good idea, though. Maybe someone will decide to write a plugin to do this. (Or, more likely, someone already has and I am just too lazy to find it.)

Met4quad

Saturday, July 8, 2000

Damn. There is some problem with the met4quad archive. I keep getting an FTP error from blogger. Rather than fix it, I think I will go drinking with Bob, the self-described husband of Gretchen, at the Red Dog Bar & Grill on Bay-to-Bay Ave. Bay-to-Bay stretches from one bay to another. Nifty name for a road, I should think.
