Yes, the Great Blarg of '03. It was very silly. ---

Ahā€¦ I missed that, I think. I remember posting in 2005 (and maybe 2004), but 2003 was ā€œbefore my timeā€. Wow. Where have the last 8 years gone? ---

I was tier 2 support contracted to Aych Pee in Vancouver when the boards started. I havenā€™t done computer work since getting fired the week of Thanksgiving in 2003, except for a single day contract in Seattle in 2007. ---

Man. I started the George job before Iā€™d graduated from college. My very first day was January 2, 2000. The CoG started in my Southwestern Bell DSL-provided web space. It blew up in popularity because of a bunch of linkage it got on USENETā€”something literally impossible today. We moved to [md-sites.com](http://md-sites.com) (long since defunct) after only a few weeks, and a couple of months after that, to @OzBobā€™s [NANC.com](http://NANC.com). How long ago was all of that? April-May, 2001. > -----Original Message----- > From: [bobjr@nanc.com](mailto:bobjr@nanc.com) (Bob Eckert Jr) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX > [mailto:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX] > Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 1:27 PM > To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX > Subject: Chronicles of George > > Hi there. > > Love your Chronicles of George > > Iā€™d love to host your site.  No charge.  All I ask for is (in the same font > as your link for e-mail or whatever) at the very > bottom of the site put ā€˜Hosted for Free by North American Networksā€™. > > If that doesnā€™t work for you, screw it!  Iā€™ll host it without it!  I love > the Chronicles of George. > [chroniclesofgeorge.nanc.com](http://chroniclesofgeorge.nanc.com) would be the web address (unless youā€™ve got one > already registered.) > > Why?  Because Iā€™ve BEEN THERE.   Oh, you canā€™t imagine, how Iā€™ve been there. > > Let me know. > > -Bob Eckert, Jr. >   Vice President / COO >   North American Networks Corporation And, as they sayā€¦we were on our way, JosĆ©. Time, it flies so fast. Left the George job in September 2001 and started at Boeing on 10 September, 2001. Had the craziest second day of work ever. Left Boeing in June 2010, but the CoGā€¦the CoG abides. [Previous page](https://cog.discourse.group/t/need-help-with-a-term/689.md?page=1)
