Oh man, what a blast from the past. Another great site in the same vein was Acts of Gord[-1], which followed the exploits of a used game store manager. Similarly semi-apocryphal and perhaps a little overstated, but highly enjoyable.

I don't really have a hard time believing that running a used game store in what is clearly not the best part of town over the course of a couple decades would produce Gord's stories.

As the phrase goes, shit happens. Nothing interesting may happen on a normal day but there's a lot of days and eventually you roll up all manner of interesting occurrences.

I remember seeing the early BOFH when I was working for Telecom GOLD (Dialcom) in the mid 80's.

I think the BOFH files may have come from the NZ Dialcom licensee originally.

Some people on HN start their link indexes at 1, some start them at 0. I, an intellectual, start them at -1.

What's the logic behind it, other than "one upping" those people or parodying the people that use '0'?
