Well, I've never been one that remembers dates well, and it took me almost a month to remember this one.

A little over five years ago, in January 2000, I first started blogging. At the time I was using NewsPro a proto-blogging tool designed for news sites more than personal sites. I don't think people called them weblogs back then.

In any case, I've enjoyed writing these entries and hope to keep entertaining you, the loyal Cruft reader, for several more years.
