Cor blimey guv - I'm an old-skool Blogger

I just had a thought... I signed up on Blogger in March, 2001. That's approaching 6 years ago now.

SIX years ago! My humble ramblings have been through just a few design incarnations, and they've certainly become more coherent (just read what I was writing when I was 14, it's ridiculously funny). Here's proof that I'm properly old-skool: My Blogger Profile ID is 187,628 (whereas new users will have IDs numbering way into the tens, and maybe possibly hundreds, of millions) and the ID for this blog is 2,937,298. Sure, there were plenty of blogs when I pootled along in a moment of idleness, but I do remember hanging off from making a blog for quite a few months too, because I didn't know what to put in it. The ID for my other university-related blog, which I set up around mid-August 2005, is 16,332,307... Crazy.

(Note: added commas to the numbers to facilitate visualisation.)

Oh, to remember the days when Blogger was naught but a spin-off service provided by Pyra Labs, and Blogger was nothing more than a side-project whilst they were offering other online collaborative data exchange and management services to business clients! Who would've thought that they would end up kicking a nascent web trend into adolescence...

... I'm feeling old, I'm going to shut up. Just for a bit.
