Happy Birthday Shadowscope

Even though I have archives dating back to 1999 on here, and have had a web presence since before then, I set the creation date for this blog on June 20th 2003. The reason why is that is when I switched over from manually hand coding html pages to using Movabletype to post to. At that point it was "officially" a blog, rather than a web page some asshole posted to every couple of months. In this case an asshole posts every day. I tried several different CMS products in the year prior to that, using the http software that is included in Homeseer for awhile, then tried some other php solutions, but this is the one I ended up with and have stuck with for awhile.

It certainly doesn't seem like I have been doing this for that long, but time flies when you are having fun...

Anyway, Happy Blog Birthday to Shadowscope.
