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.

Anyway, thinking about it, it isn't that personal web pages weren't

didn't exist yet, at least beyond research sites.

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)

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?

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...

As for the "first used Usenet" thing, I am fairly sure I used it or
something very like it during "The VAX years", probably around '87. The
earliest record I can find is '91 though. Tom sure beats me - in '82 I had
not the slightest clue about computing other than using a mainframe app.

And running xtrs, anyone can have one.
I go (TRS-80-wise) a little earlier than that, as my first documented Usenet
post asserts:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.folklore.computers/browse_thread/thread/aedd5baeb2e4e6ba/af8a503f1a33a192?lnk=st&q=%22lamar+owen%22&rnum=16&hl=en#af8a503f1a33a192
Prior to that I did some FIDO with a TRS-80 odel 16B under Xenix System III.
In 1982 I was doing hexadecimal machine code on that TRS-80 Model III, whose
non-disk boot lines you quote. My favorite Z80 joke:
01FFFF
110100
210000
EDB0
(Punchline: one-track mind.)
PostgreSQL in 48K? Ouch. What's wild is that the level-1 cache on my current
processor is larger than that...
So, as to Usenet, earliest documented date is May 1992. Ran a leaf node with
Waffle for a while, then an AT&T 3B1 later, running C News and SMail.
So, Tom, did you enjoy being linked with the Backbone Cabal? What part did
you play in the Great Renaming?
Man, this is totally off-topic, but a fun distraction...

Most efficient way to bitblit on the TRS-80....although using the six pixel
character cell graphics was, to say the least, _interesting_.
I did a LIFE on the TRS-80 complete with a full screen graphical editor in 512
bytes. No assembly required; I may have the DEBUG listing around
somewhere...time to pull out the catweasel.
Ok, too off-topic. Sorry....last on-list post from me on that branch of the

CMU was never part of the Usenet backbone, really. The backbone was the
sites that did the bulk of the work in passing news to places that had
to get it via dialup --- we're talking modems and long-distance calls
here. (A lot of the backbone sites actually belonged to Bell Labs and
similar institutions that got their phone service for free ;-)) AFAIR
CMU did all its news-passing across the internet and predecessors
thereof, which meant that we only exchanged news directly with a few
other places similarly fortunate to be on the net. The current
environment where everybody and his dog has an IP address didn't start
to happen till years later, as I'm sure you recall. So I was never in
a position of being able to determine what news other sites could or
couldn't get, which was pretty much the defining property of the Cabal.
As for the Great Renaming, yup, I remember that --- I think the fallout
was still falling at the time I took over the newsadmin chores. (It
might be that the previous holder of the post resigned because he was
burned out due to that mess, but this is speculation not memory.)
