Me and PG's Code

Let me know if you have any questions.
The original Lisp version of Store is still there, btw. I know because I use it for paulgraham.com. The new rewritten version was sufficiently different that you had to choose to "upgrade," and I never have.
I keep worrying that one day they'll shut it down because I'm the last user, and I'll have to write another web-based site builder. At least then I could support css.

If they've completely rewritten the source code, do you think they would be willing to let you have the rights back to the original version again if/when they decide to shut it down?

I will hold you to that. I have a question for you right now actually. Are there any tech skills you wish you had learned, but so far have not?

I think they rewrote Yahoo Store in C++ or something like that. Sorry. They might have the code in a safe somewhere or something.... ask them and let us know.
Congrats on the job, what does PG's work mean? Is PG a person?
Yes. PG is famous for writing pithy and insightful comic essays about the indolent British upper classes(1). He speaks with a slight lisp(2), having once bitten his tongue while eating breakfast(3). His writings are also noted for abundant citation of references(4).

PG stands for Paul Graham, a guy who posts to this site a lot. You'll get to know him if you hang around here more.

Congrats to the job!
So I am looking forward to possibly having some contact with some of PG's work!
