Bill Austin - At Least - 7 Year Blogging Anniversary

A post by Gautam Ghosh at LinkedIn Bloggers prompted me to try to figure out when I started blogging. I had to dig way back in my memory and my LinkedIn Profile (Bill Austin) and my FTP Folders to try to figure out when I first started blogging.

My quest prompted this famous quote

"My Memory Lane is full of potholes"
- Bill Austin

If you don't count the blogging tool for software engineers that I wrote at Motorola before it was called blogging (around mid 1993) ...

I was able to dig up some really old archives and blog posts from my folders.

The oldest Blog post I could find out there on a blogging platform that is still alive today is dated July 30, 2001.
Yikes - so that might mean that my 7 year anniversary is coming up or I might have missed some older stuff that is still out there someplace.
My memory is probably not like it once was. I can't recall if I ever blogged for Virus Hoax Busters or AzTeC Computing or SMUG or APCUG.
