About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

You mean the Web isn't just a place for freaks? I'm disappointed.

I started using the Web in around 1993 when my then boss decided that we had to have a Web site and I was tasked with making it happen (which it did with Netscape Gold x.something). I have been hooked ever since and it is now the first place I look for any information that I need, even if it could be found more easily somewhere else!

My personal site is in a state of self-suspension and I am not sure what direction it will take or whether I will even bother to resurrect it, to be honest.

I am here (Lat-Long: -27.940833 , 153.321667)


If anyone cares, my political compass test came out Economic Left/Right: -4.62, Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.23

If you are looking for the MeFi taglines page, it is gone due to incessant comment spam.
