Waybacking

I think I’ve just invented a new sport…

Everyone knows the game of Googling your own name, and finding out all sorts of fascinating things that you have forgotten or didn’t realise had made it onto the Interwobble.

Here’s a new twist, use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine instead and read through things like old versions of your homepage.

I’m honestly shocked at just how much incriminating material I’ve found, both from my own website and segfault.org

This comment on my site from Leonard Richardson and my reply especially amused:

What percentage of the time are you drunk? This is to settle a bet.

Okay, well on an average week I guess I go out for 3 nights. Friday night starts at 5:30 and ends 12 hours later, the other two days would be probably from 9:30 to 2:30am, so 5 hours. So we can say I spend 22 hours innebriated. Just under a day, or 13% of the week. Some weeks that might be as much as 25% to 30% I guess tho.

Who was the bet with, and more importantly, who won?

This explains a lot …
