Turn over enough rocks...
And you're bound to find something interesting.
I spent a good chunk of the afternoon sifting through the last few boxes in my office - trying to get the room into usable shape.
Among the more interesting finds:
1. My 8th grade yearbook. My god, was I ever that young? I was amazed at how many faces and names I recognized. I actually found my 3rd and 6th grade yearbooks too, but I didn't flip through them, just put them on a bookshelf with our high school yearbooks.
2. Redhat Linux 5.2 (five point two) CDs. Oh, and 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0. Windows 95, 98, WinNT, WinNT 3.51, WinNT 4 Workstation - a romp through the (fairly recent) history of operating systems.
3. Wing Commander II
4. MechWarrior II, Pentium Edition
5. Syndicate (the Bullfrog game) for DOS
Oddly enough, I kept all of the above. So one day, far in the future, I can "discover" them again and wonder why the hell I felt it necessary to keep them.
The office is starting to look like an office. Still to much junk on and around my desk, and a bunch of papers that need to either be filed or shredded (or maybe both), but progress is being made.
