Happy 10th Birthday Wordpress!

Happy 10 years of the software that allowed me to free myself of the shackles of other corporations and take blogging into my own hands.  I started this blog almost around the same time as Wordpress (WP was only 1.5 years old) Here’s to another ten years! And, here’s my version of what Dougal suggested:

When I first started using Wordpress in 2005:

• I was in my 20s
• I was in college
• I was running the blog on Fedora Core
• I was engaged
• I was using Facebook heavily as it was still highly focused on college students
• I’d never been to any country outside the USA other than Canada
• President George W Bush was in his second term
• The USA was at war with Iraq and Afghanistan

Now, when Wordpress turns 10 in 2013:

• I am in my 30s
• I am working
• I am running the blog on CentOS
• I am married and have a daughter
• I barely use Facebook
• I have been to a few more countries
• President Barack Obama is in his second term
• The USA is at war with Iraq and Afghanistan

• Wordpress
