Why redbeet?

Redbeet was a funny name chosen randomly and redbeet.com was first registered in 1997. It was my first domain and was purchased because my previous node, wowee.ersys.edmonton.ab.ca was shut down. That beloved node ran UUCP to fetch mail and news throughout the day in the late 80s and throughout the 90s, and it was my first way into the Internet. Back then my gear was a humble Amiga 1000 with hacked memory add-on, a hacked expansion card and a tiny hard drive inside a wooden box attached to its side. In the early days email could be sent by bang!path and then one day my path to ersys was just... gone. Back then the Internet was just a few million people, then suddenly it was tens of millions, and today it's...billions.
