"Those were the days my friend; we thought they'd never end". ;-)

Yeah, fun times: email, USENET, IRC, [s]ftp, telnet, ssh, etc.

(Never got much into gopher, although at times I wish I had... messed with it a bit earlier this year.. too old to remember the result(s)... :-) ).

First ISP was one "mhvnet" mentioned

here.

(Definitely remember the name "Jay Hawkinson", but never met him.)

I also had ongoing shell account bliss at

SDF.

I'm hoping to get back with the latter at some point, time permitting. But I'm suddenly massively busy: another rental to bring to rent-ability, taxes due this coming Monday (heh: originally typed 'money'..), need to work on the website of the young feller I recorded a few weeks ago (he didn't like that his personal Paypal account was revealing his real name, so he created a business account, so I need to hook that into his "merch" scenario...).

Then again, the need to get back with that was diminished when I figured out how to host static webpages from Google Drive.
