Hello all! I’m tickled pink to have my application approved to join this instance. I suspect that the bar isn’t all that high, but just let me have my fantasy.

I’ve been online since I figured out how to hook up a military surplus acoustic coupler modem to my VIC-20 way back when. Through all of my BBS, FidoNet, Usenet, a couple of different computer clubs (including one dedicated to UNIX!) and a career as a programmer, I somehow remained unaware of SDF.

If I believed in such things, I would say that the universe is telling me something, because I just retired and one of my objectives for this new phase of life is to restore my “all things computer” hobby that I left behind when I went pro.

It’s summer here in Southern Saskatchewan, so that means fishing, swimming, hiking, camping, gardening, etc. When I switch to my winter activities, I’ll start rummaging around on the SDF servers and see where it takes me.

      If you’ll accept early 20s as childhood (I do!) then me too! :)
