Coming up 16 for me.. 

 

I'd lurked awhile and then joined to moan about WxC sending p2p copyright infringement notices after just launching a torrent plan and got told off by freitasm lol

 

Since then there's been a lot of reading, posting, laughing, pizza, beer and the odd rustled jimmy or three.

 

Speaking of pizza and beer, must be nearly time for another GZ meetup? :-P





I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

I hit 20 years last month. Pretty sure there's a badge for 21 years.




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I loved my US Robotics Pilot 1000, the first generation, before it was the Palm Pilot. Bought it around the end of 1996.

So far as PIM software goes I don't think we've got anything better in the intervening period.

I've been here for 15 years in July. 

 

I'm still waiting to actually know something. 

 

There have been some interesting characters pop up and disappear over the years. 

 

My ability to think seems to have diminished somewhat over the intervening years. Hard to believe I joined when I was 40 years old...what was I thinking?
