Usenet
Yes, I've spent a fair amount of time, lo these many years, in that vast and
bizarre electronic community known as Usenet. From time to time, I've
contributed to (and will again!) groups including:
-
sci.military: Discussions about things military, past,
present and future. This group split a few years after I first got involved,
into a moderated group sci.military.moderated for general
discussion and an unmoderated group sci.military.naval
specifically for naval discussions.
-
comp.software.year-2000: Discussions about things
related to the Year 2000 software bug. I originally joined this group when
I was working on Y2K fixes and looking to see what sort of other information
was out there. Well, "out there" was a pretty good description of much of the
traffic on this unmoderated group. Believe it or not, there's still traffic...
-
comp.software.extreme-programming: Discussions about
things related to Extreme Programming (and, by extension, other agile software
processes). Appears to have high troll levels, and rabid crosspostings to other
high-flamage newsgroups.
-
alt.callahans: Discussions about things - well,
all things, really. Loosely modeled after Callahan's Place, the
setting of many of Spider Robinson's best work. Famous (or infamous) for
tremendous thread drift and truly rotten puns. Be warned.
Note that links in this section are to the
Google Usenet Archive.
