…and other things I wouldn’t have understood in 1993

Add comments

Today, via Firefox and then Filezilla, I installed a plugin for WordPress, which collects my Tweets daily and turns them into a post, which will THEN be pulled via RSS into Facebook as a note, which will confuse the Legion of John Burtons.

Of course, say stuff from back then (1993 or so) to kids who graduated post-2000, and you’ll get some fairly blank stares, too:

Once you’ve connected via modem and Trumpet Winsock, open your Mosaic (or Telnet/ProComm, if you prefer Archie/Gopher searches of a single University’s collection), and go to Altavista to see which new sites have been indexed this week.  If you’re on highspeed (14.4k) the main page should load in about 15-20 seconds, as long as you’ve remembered to turn off you call-waiting with a *67 in the dialing string.

Eventually, I’m pretty sure I’ll end up accidentally loading something into my Facebook profile that’ll turn my notes into Tweets, and approximately 6 hours after I’ve done that, I’ll create a mobius post that’ll eat Facebook, Twitter, and my blog alive.

So, there’s that to look forward to.
