Some random stuff from my personal archives.

1997 / BASIC

In 2024 I went through a box of floppies from 1996-1997 and found a short program I wrote in 1997-11-21 when I was 13 years old in BASIC:

10 CLS
20 PRINT " A, B et C sont trois critures"
30 PRINT "diffrentes d'une mme expression"
40 PRINT "algbrique."
50 PRINT : PRINT : PRINT "A = (X+2)(2X+3)+5X+10"
60 PRINT : PRINT "B = (X+2)(2X+8)"
70 PRINT : PRINT "C = (2*)+12X+16"
80 PRINT : PRINT
90 X = INT((RND) * 6)
100 IF RND > .5 THEN X = -X
110 A = (X + 2) * (2 * X + 8): CO = 0
120 PRINT "Calculer cette expression pour X = "; X
130 INPUT R
140 IF R = A THEN PRINT "BRAVO": GOTO 180
150 IF CO < 1 THEN PRINT "C'EST FAUX, ESSAYER A NOUVEAU ": INPUT R: CO = CO + 1: GOTO 140
160 IF CO < 2 THEN PRINT "C'EST FAUX, DERNIER ESSAI": INPUT R: CO = CO + 1: GOTO 140
170 PRINT : PRINT "La bonne rponse est :"; A
180 PRINT : PRINT "nouvel exercice (O/N)?"
190 A$ = INKEY$: IF A$ = "" THEN 190
200 IF A$ = "O" THEN 10
210 IF A$ <> "N" THEN END

1998 / Digital Camera

In another box of floppies I found the first digital picture of me dating from 1998-04-29 when I was 14 years old:

1998 / Usenet

I posted my first message online on 1998-08-06 at 09:00:00 on the rec.arts.bonsai newsgroup to announce my new website about my bonsai collection. There's some traces of it on the Wayback Machine by the Internet Archive but it most images are missing.
