Today, we're meeting ourselves, six years ago. We're going to tell ourselves to invest our life savings in the stock market and sell everything in mid-1999. The archives of the last several months were already in place. Hopefully, this well-organized, typically Googly method of integration of new content will still some of those complaints. They've also added an advanced search option for limiting searches.
Posting is still to come - soon.
I found out via Deborah Branscum that the cafeteria is a regular stop along the tour. The story was for TidBITS , and related the National Science Foundation's final shutdown of NSFNet in 1995. It was an interesting time to write that piece, as it came before the mainstream media really knew what to make of infrastructure and the Internet, but it was the last step in privatizing packet transit. An SF Chronicle story that quoted me on it was illegally posted in a newsgroup , which I found quite easily through the new Google search. This wasn't too long after gopher was on its way out.
