Ten years ago today I registered socket7.net. It began hosted on a linux box in my closet for a good 2-3 years before finally landing on Dreamhost. It was the crux of teaching myself more about the web. Through it I expanded my knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL; not to mention everything behind the scenes like Apache, DNS, etc.
One year is an eternity on the internet. Hell, even a few days after something big breaks on the 'net if someone mentions it for the first time they get lambasted for reporting "old news." Ten years, then, is almost unquantifiable by those standards. So much has changed, and so much more will change in the next ten years.
As much as I tend to neglect the site lately, there's no denying that I wouldn't be who I am today without it. Here's to you, socket7.net. May you live another ten years on the web.
