Hey all. I don't generally do the social web stuff very much, this is really my first foray into it in any social kind of status. I'm kind of a busy person, and not a real organised person; I don't anticipate that I'll be commenting/linking/socialising/etc. very often. But hey, whatever; everything deserves a chance, right?

My one big hope here is that the admins will respect my privacy and not dish out my IP, name or socially identifying demographics. I can currently Google myself and get one hit (around #80, consisting of my name and workplace), and I would like to keep it that way. Nevertheless, I'm a pretty social person "irl".

...that makes me think for a sec... anyone here remember the "good old days" of IRC, when assenine bombers were the occasional annoyance and you could tell the "kewl" people from the acronyms and smileys they used? I think the year I have in mind was around 1993. I ask this because I'm kind of curious to see where others here sit on the 'how long ago I got involved in the internet' list.


Anyway, that really covers it. Feel free to friend me, comment, etc. ad infinitum. I'd like that.

Have a nice day!



PS: Boy, it's kind of hard not to automatically sign messages with my name.
