"The reason I chose today to drop out was because of a conversation I had with pg last week. He said bluntly that Octopart's chances of getting funding were worse if I stayed in grad school." Classic. Top story the day I started, "I Dropped Out of Grad School Today" @sam (octopart) [0],[1] [0] https://web.archive.org/web/20070221033032/http://news.ycomb...

You started Feb 22, technically that's a different date. :) The Archive.org page nearest my join date leads with the "Show HN" post for Dropbox, though I actually joined a month earlier in March 2007. Another top story from that day asks if people realized the up and down arrows were clickable and used for voting purposes.

"You started Feb 22, technically that's a different date. :)"

correct @vlad, though the Archive.org capture isn't hi-rez enough, I'm only reading what the app shows. Great idea.
