Wow, I have to admit that I found many artifacts in moving my office from the spare bedroom to the downstairs room (which still has no couch, because I can't find one that will fit well and match). I posted on PointBuzz an old sketch for the old GTTP. There are also old database schemas and diagrams (including one for CampusFish).
I found a lot of old ticket stubs and cards and notes from various special ladies. Tons of volleyball stuff. Old things to throw away. Magazines where I had letters published.
Most entertaining is a couple of old three-ring binders with printed out stuff about programming. Really old stuff, like ASP 2.0 stuff, circa 1998. I'm debating whether or not to throw it away, because it reminds me how little I knew, and how much I had people snowed when I got my job at Penton Media. In all fairness, that was not strictly a programming job, but it did provide the transition for me. Still, when I look at the scope of things I know how to do now, I'm surprised at how far I've come in the last eight years.
The old room still has a lot of crap that I need to clean up or throw away. My PC is up there gathering dust too. Eventually, once it's all clear, I'll rip out the carpet.
