Just typical, in the back of my mind I had a cool way to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Scam City yesterday, but when the day came I clean forgot about it…
Hard to believe I’ve been running this place for 5 years (and one day) now, how time flies. The Genetically Modified Scam City was originally created so I could post a whole bunch of pictures relating to my NYC trip in September 1999, and it wasn’t until October 2000 that I started this blogging lark. But I didn’t use any fancy schmancy blog contant management system, no siree, each page was deliciously hand crafted (first on notepad, then on FrontPage 2000, and finally on Dreamweaver MX), and it stayed that way for almost 3 years, though I did flirt with Blogger for a little while in 2002… It’s been hosted at a variety of places in the 5 years as well, firstly on Geocities, then on my NTL homepage, then some shitty hosting company who’s name eludes me at this point (they made a great impression, huh?) and finally on RUWebby thanks to a more than generous offer from Erika, this place comes loaded with stuff (PHP, ASP, .NET, ColdFusion to name a few) and I don’t pay a a dime for it, plus I can exceed my 100mb limit and 1GB bandwidth no problem, though the bandwidth can be an issue from time to time…
Incase your interested, this site currently uses up 98.31mb of 100mb space and 884.51mb of the 1GB bandwidth.
In other news, my perfect record at Turner Field continued Friday night as Robyn and I went to see Barry Bonds and the San Francisco Giants play game one of a four game series this weekend. The Braves went on to win 5-3, but not before Barry hit home run number 694, much to most of the crowds displeasure, he’s closing in on Hank Aaron’s all time record of 755 home runs so only 61 to go which he’ll probably break by the end of next season.
It was an enjoyable game, after Barry’s home run put the Giants up 3-0, Atlanta hit back with a Chipper Jones home run to put the Braves 4-3 up and then they added another run in the 8th inning to seal the win. A good crowd was there to, especially around us, which always makes for a good time (even when the mexican wave can only make it round the stadium 3 times).
Maybe we can sneak in another game before the end of the season, but am I willing to put my perfect record (3-0, 1.000) on the line?
