This time 8 years ago I was waiting for the new millenium

Wow, can't believe it's been 8 years since new years eve in the last millenium... waiting for the whole IT world to collapse. Time flies when you're having fun

Sucks, doesn't it?

Crazy. I was on my way to Liverpool to look forward to a night of hedonism, beer, women, beer, music, beer, dancing, beer, fighting over memorabilia, beer, sleeping in Lime St Station, beer and beer 8 years ago, 6 hours from now.

I was saving the pennies and almost had enough for my new GeForce256.

Well it's certainly different now... different job (same company though), 2 kids, married, living in a different area. And a very different outlook on life.

It wasn't really that long ago, was it?!!?

I remember it clear as day. The build up, the preparation, stealing Advocaat off a girl I fancied, walking about en masse around the housing estate where we were, trying desperately to prevent my friend from getting a good hiding from about 10 seperate people at the same time as removing him from some railings, and passing out on a friends living room floor.

It all goes waaaaaaaaaaaay too fast.

I was one of those guys on standby waiting for everything to go pear shaped and the computers explode, had to start work at 6am New years day after far too many beers, such an anti-climax but an excuse for silly OT rates.

Stop it.

I'm stuck in 2002.

[TW]Fox · 31 Dec 2007 at 01:09

2002 sucked. I wasted it playing CS and driving a diesel.

I was ill and stayed at home and watched the best fireworks display ever, 360 degrees of fireworks. Amazing.

IT guy here too but didn't want to work that night

Lots of money being thrown about at the time to stop people resigning though. Good times those. Again very different now.

I was on call and couldn't drink

I was working in finance but there was a lot of concern about the systems we used.
