Updated email signature
I have updated my email signature because I think it is no longer
necessary to list contact information now that my home page has all that
information. (At the time I created it, email was becoming popular but
personal web sites were rare.)
Also, I wanted to mention that I work for SRA OSS more prominently. I
hope that is OK with everyone.

I can see why anyone would have a problem with this. Have you
see my signature ;)

What! Can't you embed an image in there too! :-)
Anyway, thinking about it, it isn't that personal web pages weren't
popular when I created the original signature, but that the web itself
didn't exist yet, at least beyond research sites.
My first post to Usenet was May 1991:
And the world wide web came later:

Not sure, but I remember being netnews admin for CMU in '87.
(Grad student slave labor position, mind you, not prestigious.
That was before anyone cared enough about netnews to have a real
staff person take care of it...) I'd guess I first got involved
in Usenet a year or two before that. The oldest thing I can
actually document at the moment is the CMU coke-machine info I posted
in 1989, eg http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/jhb/silly/cokemachine.htm
(another slave-labor position, but at least the loaders got free
coke out of it)

After further digging, I found something older: conclusive proof that
I was present at the invention of the smiley. I've been heard to assert
that before, but apparently someone has actually managed to unearth
archives that had been thought long gone:
http://www.authentichistory.com/documents/1980s/smiley/complete_smiley_thread.html
See Scott Fahlman's post on 19-Sep-82 11:44, and note the rapidity with
which the idea spread below. I can be seen answering some unrelated
question about halfway down the page.
The CMU bboard system could legitimately be called a forerunner of
usenet, though since it didn't travel further than the CS department's
local net, it certainly wasn't the sort of community we now associate
with netnews. Or then again maybe it was --- the fact that the
department members had a need to invent such a symbol should give you
some flavor of the place.
Anyone able to beat that?

Crud, I was hoping that my posts listed on Google from July 1986 would
beat the 1987 dates you mentioned, but evidently not :-(.

So was I. Back on the point though, despite previous denials I'm starting to get my suspicions about Tom being part of the legendary Usenet Cabal again - especially with this new admission of being the news admin at CMU in the mid 80's...
Ooh, is that a black helicop...
