&lt;p&gt;I like this list of node archeological finds.
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://1045|The first Cool use for Perl]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://1544|The second CUFP]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://1596|The first poetry submission]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://1650|The second poetry submission]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://1602|The oldest obfuscation]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://1767|The oldest obfuscation - 1]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://835|The oldest question]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://847|The oldest question - 1].  This is [paco]'s famous question that, mainly because of [Ovid]'s sig, ended up on [Best Nodes].&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://484|The oldest meditation]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://485|The oldest meditation - 1]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://1396|The oldest PM discussion]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;[id://1409|The oldest PM discussion - 1]&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;!-- This probably won't change for a long time. --&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/index.pl?node_id=23771&amp;next=116"&gt;When brother Newsbot first walked among us.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
At this point you're probably wondering whether
[id://50833|the lowest-numbered nodes mean anything].
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr width="25%"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I had to pick one node here as my all-time favorite, it would have to be [1st Monasterians].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've never written anything that nice around here, just
[id://191589|a bunch] [id://89135|of doggerel].&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm a computer consultant by profession.  I wrote my first computer program in 1976,
&lt;!-- Yes, I know that's before many monks were born. --&gt;
using Fortran on a 
[http://www.museumwaalsdorp.nl/computer/en/6400hist.html|CDC 6600], reportedly the first machine to be called a [http://www.scd.ucar.edu/computers/gallery/cdc/6600.html|supercomputer].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/6valr"&gt;Unitarian Jihad Name&lt;/a&gt; is: &lt;strong&gt;Brother Shotgun of Moderation&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;a href="http://homepage.mac.com/whump/ujname.html"&gt;Get yours&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you need to contact me personally, you can send me mail by using the address generated from this:
&lt;code&gt;unpack('u', '25E-A&lt;FMI&lt;W-`&lt;&amp;]B;W@N8V]M')
&lt;/code&gt;
or you can just look at the [http://tinymicros.com/pm|Monk stats], or read the invisible ink here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;!-- location:latitude=34.04.23,longitude=-117.50.12 --&gt;
&lt;!-- OK, being picky here, but this doesn't round off right.
My precise coordinates are 34.07632 N -117.833111 W.
The D.M.S numbers round to 34.07305 N -117.836667 W. 
I don't think I can get them any closer.... --&gt;
