THE JBR BACKLOG:
WHAT'S OLD

Justin B Rye [MAIL] 22-Apr-99

Explanations And Excuses

Oh, come on, you don't need to visit this page, do you?  It's nothing but a copy of the Changelog as it stood on the site's second birthday, before I started abbreviating the coverage in its ancient history section to keep it within the 10KB limit (if you're reading this page in April 1999, that's in the future, of course).  You're welcome to have a snout around now you're here, but I should warn you it's not very interesting or useful, and mystifying references to bygone material are likely to accumulate in the defunct links.

I should mention that I'm also celebrating my 32nd birthday and the end of 9¾ years on the dole, an occasion I'd like to mark by thanking all those who have linked to my pages with embarrassingly generous praise, quoted me out of the blue as an authority on Usenet, or expressed their opinions to me in e-mail (that includes many remarkably friendly Esperantists).  Oh, and my parents, for reproducing.
