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.

Nickname: A contraction of my real name.
Internet: 1993, email and usenet. 1995, a friend showed me Mosaic. What's all the fuss about? I wondered to myself. Then in a spare hour I had a bit of a play. The rest of my life has been spent staring at a screen reading crap on the web. Oh well.
