I manually added 85 posts to this blog, covering a stretch from November 2003 to March 2005.
This covers the period when I first started blogging. At that time my blog was a text file that I updated by hand on a page from my website. The web server was an old Pentium 200MHz box hidden away in my parents basement. I was using a free dynamic DNS service and the domain nxseal.com at the time.
Then in September 2004, I bought jmcardle.com and started to use some real blogging software called BBlog. I then transitioned to WordPress the following March.
I never archived my posts during these transitions. I recovered all of these by using Archive.org’s Wayback Machine. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get everything. In particular, it looks like there’s a good bit missing between February and September 2004.
Going back on what I was able to save, it looks like I was already ranting on ownership, involved in a few pranks, failing classes, working lots, navigating emotions, and I guess just being your average hacker-y/geeky teenager.

YES! I’m looking forward to perusing some blasts from the past!
Unfortunately, it’s really boring!
I put it there mostly so that I could reclaim some record of my past while I still could and have it all in one place. But I wasn’t the most interesting kid. :p There’s nothing about our adventures in there either, sadly. There’s some references to where we worked, but just to say there was lots of work.
I don’t think your blog is “boring”, let alone “really boring”.
And, my friend, you are literally the definition of an interesting kid.
