What a blast from the past! Anthony was the head sysadmin during my undergrad (circa. the last update of this page) and this page was pretty famous. I was part of a research group and built a bit of a rapport with Anthony since I was bugging him to install/configure random things like Perl::FastCGI.

On the odd chance you're reading this, Anthony, I'll never forget you granting my request of the now-defunct $firstname@cit.griffith email address when I joined "staff" as part of the research group. I doubt you would remember that, but I thought it was cool as fuck so thanks once more.

> What I really am is a hacker (original meaning, not the cracker meaning of the media) and as such, live on COKE and often work into the wee hours of the mornings (or at least I used to). A sign which once appeared on my door says "Real Programmers do their best work between 1 and 5 am", about which I totally agree. Though my boss, and wife don't!

That definitely resonates with me.

I know why web pages have to be why the way they are today but I really miss fast-loading and information-dense pages like this these days.
