CA3LE Posted February 26, 2018 CID Share Posted February 26, 2018 I made a promise that I didn't keep and just noticed. I'll try to right that by the end of this post. Every time I get deep into the future... I dig even deeper into the past (my own as well as others). It helps this website and myself grow. Case in point... Note: There was a press/news embargo on this film. Here are a couple of quotes with links of the video starting near the quotes. "human minds settle into the fixed ways of looking at the world." ... "...you know I've always that felt death is the greatest invention of life." "I think as long as (you know) humans don't solve this human nature trait of sort of settling in, to a world view after a while, there will always be opportunity for young companies as well as young people to innovate... As it should be." Reminds me that if I'm not innovating I'm stagnating. I'm laughing my ass off at some of my oldest shit... that I can actually find. I remember far worse in my history, wish I could find it. Anyway, it's pretty much all embarrassing but I posted it on the internet... so I knew when it was posted in theory it would be there forever. This is the archive of the domain that TestMy.net was born out of. https://web.archive.org/web/20000817052146/http://www.surftohere.com:80/ and then I find I guess I had a ping service I forgot about long ago. lol --- I look this up periodically and it seems like more holes get filled in each time. I think that much of it is because web archive has become better over the years. I can feel it's better for sure. At the very least faster so I can search around faster than before. Thanks web.archive.org I sometimes look at my past to get an eye on the future, it helps me get a scope on what I'm doing wrong or maybe what I may think about revisiting. By the way, I'm often wrong. The thing is though, so many people have visited TestMy.net and I listen when you tell me I'm wrong, I correct my programs when you tell me I'm wrong. This community has been correcting TestMy.net's imperfections with your input over time. Despite so much user input the core principals still haven't been challenged. Quite the opposite. Experts in the internet, technology and networking fields have embraced TestMy.net. Eventually, capturing the attention of the remaining 99% is my ultimate goal. Let's continue on our journey and keep our promise. hahaha... see I find something like and think, "maybe I should engage people like that again..." (obviously not with AOL buddies but you get the idea) --- AOL buddies, wow.. I forgot about those. Sorry to all of my AOL buddies. I forgot about the vast majority of these until I saw this page. Some links worked, many were broken or only partially loading... but it was enough to send me back in time. ...I found things I forgot happened... with one of my best friends who died last year, Terrence Nielsen. Then found embarrassing business ideas. Oh, so embarrassing. only partially loaded but you get the idea, lame. uhhhh. super lame. Back in the day I had to take the original internet testing program down because I couldn't afford to host the bandwidth out of pocket. That died and later TMN rose from those ashes... Fun to look back at and learn from. I really didn't care what people thought then (20-year-old punk kid after all) and I truthfully still don't today. At the heart of all of this I'm just trying to give people the tools I want and need myself. To be completely honest, the bandwidth test that would later become TestMy.net was originally supposed to be hidden in a directory away from the search engines. I made it originally only for myself, it was spidered by accident... or by chance. Whatever it was, I didn't originally share this... it just started getting massive amounts of traffic one day so I kept building on it. Having said that, I've always had a vision for what TestMy.net IS. I can tell you today that it's not even 10% there yet. Keep visiting and I promise, I will surprise you. So on to the people I forgot. The website clearly said... I can't say that and then have the "mark" removed from the internet. It's still on WebArchive but really that's outside of my control. So here are those comments, reposted minus email addresses. All 49 of them, especially the funny ones.
