Oh, how time flies – especially on the internet. It’s my belief that time literally moves 3x faster on the internet than it does in real life. Why? Because you can’t remember what you did on the internet last week, never mind last month (but you can in real life). Moving on..

One year ago:

Ubuntu 8.04 was released. Lots of people downloaded it, including yours truly. Version 8 was the best yet, and version 9 isn’t that far away.

I griped about dopey kids who use netspeak in written school assignments.

It was revealed that Psystar, the company all Mac users hate, turned out to be real.

Internet Explorer 8 was still in beta.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 was not in Microsoft’s Windows updater system at the time (but of course it is now).

What were you doing on the internet a year ago?

Do you even remember? Probably not, so you’ll have to cheat and look in your email to see the kind of stuff you were talking about back then.
