In 1993 I started running a web site at NASA. The site I had up was just a test of this new "World Wide Web" thing, and I was researching how it could be used within NASA. But I had been running BBSes and participating in Usenet forums and The Well for many years, so I was super engaged with all the other sites and users I could find out there. And no doubt having the name "NASA" attached to my page drove a lot of traffic to my pages and especially my Links page.

So anyway, I was contacted at some point by someone at Yahoo (I'd like to think it was Jerry Yang, but ... shit ... that was over 20 years ago!) who asked to see my log files, because I was getting traffic from all over the world. Their traffic was very limited at the time, and they were trying to make sure their tools worked with all the different ways web traffic was represented from around the world. So I sent them the files. Never heard back from them.

I post this here to Hubski since I will not be having children, and therefore cannot bore my grandchildren with my stories of the the internet in the olden days. Some Mountebank is welcome to scoop this up and start using it as their own, with their own children. You're welcome.
