Happy Birthday, Dreamwidth

Time zones? What are time zones?

So four years ago today, give or take whichever end of the day we're talking about, I was sitting on this very internet (if not this very computer), excited, thrilled, terrified, and amazingly restless, waiting for the Open Beta to commence.

We ordered pizza for the Faultless Pajama Foundry apartment where Dreamwidth's owners and spice were huddled, waiting to make sure everything went off without a hitch.

There were some bobbles. Mark oopsed the website at least once. There was a problem with the shop and there was another seed account sale for people who didn't get a chance the first time around.

It was incredible.

Like [personal profile] zarhooie said, we probably wouldn't want to go through all that again, but oh my god. It was amazing. I have met so many excellent people, including and especially [personal profile] zarhooie -- I gave her my phone number so she could call to keep company and keep safe on the road when she was headed somewhere or other, and then suddenly we were inseparable. I was thinking "Who is this Kat person and how come she is always on my phone?" and then we were braintwins. I wouldn't trade her. ♥

Here's to another four and beyond.

All of the above. I was distressed, I tell you, when I couldn't buy my seed account the first time around. But Rah calmed my distress and there was a second sale in which I was able to buy and really, from the moment Rah was all "Settle down, I got this," I was hooked on DW.
