How time flies when you’re having fun…

I was doing some research for a project today, and came to realize — the first “company owned” mailing list I ran (MAE-Users, for the trivially oriented) was created in May, 1994. That means that I’m a couple of weeks short of having done this for a living for ten years now. How time flies when you’re having fun.

Early on, I worked in a marketing organization. In January of 1997, though, I moved into the IS/IT world of Apple, and became a corporate resource, which is where I’ve lived happily (mostly) ever since.

And in even better news, I heard yesterday that the candidate we had for our lists.apple.com position has accepted, and starts in May, so we can finally get that project moving forward again. His first job, though, will be to upgrade our long-neglected USENET boxes and take those off my hands, and get those two ancient E-450′s retired.. But it means we’ll finally get a dedicated resource to get that server box upgraded…
