[comphist] Hello world!

[Rob L. <ro...@la...>]

It's been a while since I've posted to this list, hasn't it?

I have a new email address, and a new webpage.  (Penguicon 1.0 happened in the 
meantime, and was a smashing success, by the way.)

My new web page is www.landley.net, and the sub-page for this thing is:

http://www.landley.net/history

Under that are two directories.  One is scans, where i've started to scan in 
the huge pile of magazines I've accumulated.  I've gone through about 0.1% of 
what I've got.  Scanning magazines in is SLOW.  Sigh...

The mirror I've been accumulating (the other subdirectory) has gotten fairly 
large.  It's now over 100 megabytes of mirrored stuff, actually.  And that's 
not even counting the episodes of "computer chronicles" that archive.org has, 
which are just too big for me to mirror.  (Gary Kildall was co-host of their 
first episode, you know...)

I'm also reading (#*%#7 enormous) my pile of books.  I read each one twice, 
and take notes on the second pass.  I should put the notes on the web page as 
well.

I should start hosting my own mailing lists, as well.  (I kind of fell off 
this one when my email address changed a while back.  Hi.)

Now that I've got my own website, I'm probably going to start a computer 
history column to get material written down, and organize into some kind of 
narrative later...
