Happy 2nd Anniversary Primordial Ooze

This moment in time represents the 2nd anniversary of the Primordial Ooze blog. I originally wrote this entry on Thursday, November 17 2005 but I used the "Scheduled" post feature of Movable Type which allows me to specify the exact time that the post is to appear on the site. So long as the 'schedule tasks' cron job is running on the underlying Linux server that is home to the Primordial Ooze blog, you should get this on November 21, 2005. The time of the post should be identical to my first blog post, 12:05:21am. I must have been up late when I installed the software for the first time.

In 2003, I started this blog because I loved the concept of an online diary and memoir. I remember I was sitting at Bertucci's in October 2003 with my friend Rob and we were talking about .NET. He was telling me about all of these bloggers at Microsoft and the cool stuff they were talking about. I started to get really interested and before long I started this blog. I never looked back.

In my head, a blog was a perfect means for me to publish my ideas, my work, and my craziness. If I were to send the contents of these posts to my friends, they would quickly change their e-mail addresses. E-mail is just not the appropriate vehicle for some of the things I want to write. A blog is perfect for me to say just about whatever I'm thinking and go into whatever level of detail I can stand about some random topic.

For those of you who subscribed back in the early days, thanks for sticking around. For those of you who are new, I hope you stay on as long as this crazy train stays on the rails.

Cheers,
Nick
