Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I was going through a box ov old stuff and found my computer notebook (a little black diary) from around 2001-2003.

Of the hundred of entries only three logins still worked:

  • Gentoo forums
  • slashdot
  • ~~one other I can’t remember atm~~ The other was Yahoo

And of all the websites and apps 90% no longer exist or the logins are dead

Command and Conquer forum PPM is still live and kicking nearly 20 years later. My login still works, amazing.

You have a great opportunity with discover-england.co.uk to fill it with pictures of Rwanda and troll the government.

I worked for campus housing networking and we'd get all sorts of free crap. Mouse pads for dogpile.com. Pets.com puppets. Squeeze balls from companies I don't remember anymore.
