I tried this last year and got distracted with deadlines, potential deportation and moving house three times. Maybe this time around it will stick. I have other journals (updated sporadically), but this one is slightly more public.
Anyway, onto an original meme of mine:
- Number of Years online: 10? 11? Something like that. I had a brief play with BBSs and FidoNet in high school, but it didn’t really stick until uni when I had Internet access without any hassle.
- First web browser: Netscape 0.92n.
- First email address: rahar8@student.monash.edu.au
- First website: http://yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au/~merlinc
- First handle/nickname: merlinc – Initially chosen because of Roger Zelazny’s Amber sequence, kept I guess, due to the lack of collisions when registering on new sites
- First domain: http://www.thecourtsofchaos.com – I’ve had a number of others, but they were one off things, the only constant has been courts
- First UseNet Post: in aus.sf.babylon5
- First online community: Aus.Tv.X-files (it was less about the xfiles, more about being silly at each other). Made a lot of friends there, still got some of them.
- First downloaded song: ‘Earth’ by the Orb – I rememeber it being a really long song, and difficult to download on a 28.8k modem
- First downloaded movie/TV show: ‘Earshot’, Season 3 of Buffy c/o #buffy-unlimited on efnet
Glad to see Intro 2.0 🙂
Can we be expecting a bit more or are you a little busy?
