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.

My username, "Jayder," is not really a nickname, but is a mis-hearing of my actual name as it is spoken.

I first started using the Internet in 1990 or 1991, when I was working as a technical writer in the computer services department of the university I attended as an undergraduate. That's when I discovered Usenet.

I started using the World Wide Web in 1995 or 1996.
