I put on a pair of shorts a couple of weeks ago and found something in the back pocket. A piece of paper that was carefully folded and had obviously been through the washing machine several times. I figure I'd not worn these shorts since last summer (remember here in the Pacific Northwest there is a very distinct 'shorts' season for most normal people). On the piece of paper was a sketch of a web page called 'TheZBuffer'. According to the domain records I registered the URL in August 2002 but for the life of me I can't remember what I intended to do with it.

But by August last year I had amassed a decent collection of Managed DirectX links and was getting ready to do something with them. It took me until October 8th (remember that and send birthday presents) to put together a basic site - all HTML! - and start adding content. But maybe I'll tell more about that story on the sites birthday.

One of my main goals for the site was never to let it go stale, this will be entry 262 in 372 days so I'm averaging about 5 posts per week. I think I can check that goal off.

Odd to think 12 months ago I was sitting in some boring meeting at Microsoft sketching out my future....
