Your Spring anniversary. When did you join and what is your anniversery, we may, from time to time, contact lost souls on their anniversery.

When I figger out when I had the idea for the Spring, I'll let y'all know, it was about ten years ago. It might have been in the shower. I'll start digging through some old papers and stuff. When did you first check in to the Spring? Check back here on your anniversary!

Does that mean we'll contact you in the shower on your anniversary, terry? (wink, wink) I'm not certain of my exact anniversary, but I'll say August 1997; it's been about 6 months I guess (still a newbie!)

I'll say 25 September, 1996, 'cause that's my first post in the food conference intros...

can't remember mine, december 96?

~stacey Fri, Mar 13, 1998 (18:15) #5

wow... guess I've been around here awhile! I think January of '96 you turned me on to Telnet but maybe that was the hotspring???

~terry Fri, Mar 13, 1998 (18:19) #6

That was then hot.spring.com, which was the Sun box over at Outreach communications. Then we switched to www.spring.com. boyce may be the oldest living springeur besides me. All the early stuff is still around at http://www.spring.com/~dbii/forum if you want to trip through the past.

~stacey Mon, Mar 16, 1998 (18:12) #7

nah... I prefer the here and now (with a little fantasizing thrown in for good measure!)

~terry Mon, Mar 16, 1998 (18:32) #8

Funny, mention boyce and he shows! His ears must have been burning up.

~KitchenManager Sun, Apr 18, 1999 (14:34) #9

~wolf Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (12:57) #10

~riette Fri, Sep 24, 1999 (08:07) #11

Think I've been here for about 18 months now.

~aschuth Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (11:59) #12

Oh, but you hafta count the 8 weeks off you were in Africa... ;=}

~riette Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (14:32) #13

That's easy. How will you calculate yours??

~wolf Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (19:11) #14

i have no idea how long i've been here!

~riette Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (04:16) #15

forever probably

~stacey Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (09:32) #16

lemme see... i had to figure this out before once... Autumn of '95 I believe... Paul, does that sound right? were you at MR by then??

~terry Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (09:45) #17

Scratches head, do you know how bad at dates I am? What is your earliest posting here? It's still here somewhere!

~riette Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (13:29) #18

Wow, 4 years!! That must be a record!

~stacey Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (14:32) #19

Paul's been here over ten...

~terry Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (10:20) #20

Yep I hold the record, the first user to sign up was Bernie P. I believe. I could look at the archives, which anyhone can get to.

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (12:49) #21

my Anniversary is this month in 1997...or was it before that...hmmm...

~riette Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (13:25) #22

You've been here longer than me? Yeah? What a pity we didn't get to know each other sooner, girl! Terry, and what happened to Bernie P.?

~terry Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (13:37) #23

I don't know, he lives in SF, when we first started he sent $100 to support it and he only posted maybe once or twice.

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (14:17) #24

Oh Ree...I know...I know!!! (running to make up for lost time...)

~wolf Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (21:08) #25

how do we look at the archives?

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (21:40) #26

I know where the drool ones are...but not the Spring ones...!

~terry Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (22:30) #27

I think they're in http://www.spring.net/~dbii/forum That's the kind of video we used run on the Spring, stuff I shot around Austin, they're still in my video archives. Click on conferences. Or better. http://www.spring.net/~dbii/forum/confs

~terry Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (22:33) #28

http://www.spring.net/~dbii/forum/confs/confs.html Dig that watery background. This is from 1994. The Spring was formed March 20, 1989. We went live on the web March 20, 1994.

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (22:55) #29

Methinks there is a lot in there I don't need to read right now...I will wait till I am past the personal stuff...and can read it objectively! Thanks! and, lovely picture...very nice (was that you?)

~terry Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (08:06) #30

Nope, not me. It was the scene one day at Hamilton Pool.

~MarciaH Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (19:10) #31

...ah...! (sorry it was not you - looked delightful!)
