From Google: “Google has fully integrated the past 20 years of Usenet archives into Google Groups, which now offers access to more than 700 million messages dating back to 1981. We believe this to be the most complete collection of Usenet articles ever assembled and a fascinating first-hand historical account.
We are compiling some especially memorable articles and threads in the timeline below. For example, read Tim Berners-Lee’s announcement of what became the World Wide Web or Linus Torvalds’ first post about his “pet project”. If you come across other noteworthy posts while searching the archive, please forward them to us at usenet-timeline@google.com. Please note that while your own first post was undoubtedly of great personal historical value, we will only be able to include submissions of interest to a wide range of users.
Thanks, and enjoy your trip back to the golden age of Usenet.

One of my good friends who likes to play with old technology and make it do something weird and unusal sent me a link to his latest experiment. It seems he has turned a Tandy 8088 into a web server. That is right, 8088, Tandy, web server.

There is a new way to travel as of today. Inventory Dean Kamen has created a personal travel device designed for a single rider. It can travel at 12 miles per hour and doesn’t even have breaks. There are links all over the place if you happen to miss this, here are a couple:

Ok all of you Linux geeks. Get out your pencils because I am about to tell you how to get rid of those 30 minute fscks when Linux crashes, the power goes out, or someone presses your reset button just for laughs. The following outlines how to setup the Ext3 journaling file system on your already installed Linux. It is short and really isn’t all that hard to follow.
