I have been looking back through old stuff I’ve put on the Internet trying to find out: what’s the oldest thing of mine I can find online?
I have access to and/or copies of stuff from LiveJournal, Posterous, Twitter and a bunch of my own websites. (I loved making websites even before I had the cool opportunity to work on-premises for a local domain name registrar/web hosting company from 2009-2011.)
A few things I’m happy to link to:
2000s
- The Flickr account I signed up for in 2006.
2010s
2020s

Digital archiving is a topic of particular interest to me. (Alam & Graham, 2025)
