Very fun browsing the links… one of my favorite is [the article](https://web.archive.org/web/20010409192226/http://www.wikipe...) on Larry Sanger, who's listed as co-creator of Wikipedia and CEO of Nupedia, a predecessor project. To be honest I hadn't heard of him before. A fun quote:

> Presently living in Las Vegas for a few months and then it's on to Russia for a few more months; possibly Ireland after that… Larry can move around like this because he works online. You should be envious. He would be if he weren't he.

And here's the less flavorful [Jimbo Wales article](https://web.archive.org/web/20010412200157/http://www.wikipe...), in which he mentions this in the comment thread:

> [druglady.com is] my mom and dad's pharmacy. I made a website for her. It's on the same machine as wikipedia. That will probably change soon, as we are rearranging things.

> I have many websites.
