so, i sent an email to the oiprd directly, bypassing the "co-ordinator" i'd been using.

i'll try to call tomorrow, if i get no response.

for right now, i've found some snapshots of my carleton site that takes me back to mid-2001:
http://web.archive.org/web/20010616043437/http://chat.carleton.ca/~jparent2/

that would have been the summer after first year, and i'm willing to believe there was nothing there before that.

the site gets increasingly complicated for many years...

there was something at crosswinds before that, something at fortune cities and i think something at geocities, as well, going back to i think 1998.

pulling all this down should help me date things a little better.
