Ouch
Ahā¦ I missed that, I think. I remember posting in 2005 (and maybe 2004), but 2003 was ābefore 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 havenāt done computer work since getting fired the week of Thanksgiving in 2003, except for a single day contract in Seattle in 2007.

RIGHT?? My niece, who I quit the Horrid Alarm Job for in 2003, is turning TWELVE. 
Man.
I started the George job before Iād 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 USENETāsomething literally impossible today. We moved to md-sites.com (long since defunct) after only a few weeks, and a couple of months after that, to @OzBobās NANC.com. How long ago was all of that? April-May, 2001.

Subject: Chronicles of GeorgeHi there.
Love your Chronicles of George
Iād 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 āHosted for Free by North American Networksā.If that doesnāt work for you, screw it! Iāll host it without it! I love
the Chronicles of George.
chroniclesofgeorge.nanc.com would be the web address (unless youāve got one
already registered.)Why? Because Iāve BEEN THERE. Oh, you canāt imagine, how Iāve been there.
Let me know.

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.
