I just realized I still have the keys to my first office (server rack included) in my keychain, even though I haven't worked there for six years now.

Could mean you're a pack rat - you know, a person that never throws anything out.
Must bring back memories I assume.

Was, but now I'm the full opposite: the less stuff, the better. Hence why this was surprising, taking years to notice I had twice as many keys as I should.

Well, problem solved now.

How many keys do you actually have on that ring? I have only 4 but I still think it's too much.
Post a picture?

[anon]

Three and I'm too lazy to take and upload a picture, but everything I say about myself online is true as a matter of policy.

It's remarkable how much bloat google mail has. I've been moving my accounts to other mail providers, providers which are more privacy aware than google. These online mail tools look like the ones I grew up with in 2003 but they actually work much faster than google, navigating through the menus, opening a mail... Some much time has passed I actually forgot how a mail interface should look and work.
The thing that saddens me is that people are blown away by looks instead of appreciating the inner workings, the magic behind the scene.

Real heroes use IMAP on a desktop client. Sadly I'm not a real hero. Also, IMAP isn't always available for free...

Invite codes with the occasional open signup, just like old times.

A little trip down memory lane.. I wish I had a computer in 1992. I'm sure I would've liked it. My first one was in 2001.

When you think about it... if you weren't at work or school, a computer was just a really expensive toy that couldn't do much (goes double for portable computers with color screens like the one in the video). Not to mention Internet access was for an elite few and offered little besides exchanging messages with the rest of them.

I mean seriously, what kind of pic did you expect? I'm a professional.
