new people as I'd like to. I'm kind of shy, but I love to make new
friends, and can chat up a storm on almost any topic. Just because
I wont know most of the people, doesn't meet I wont by the end of

Until recently I was System Administrator for the MSN Service Operations
Center. It was a cover. I'm really a Linux freak and now work as
a Systems Analyst for Go2Net. IRL, you can't find me anywhere, because
I don't have time for anything except my computers, wife, and daughter.
This Convergence will be my first, and as it will also be my only
sanctioned break from amassing knowledge and money for the year,
I will probably be in a good mood and completely insane." |
