1. How much time do you spend online each day?
Wow. It’s sad to say, but probably about six to eight hours.
2. What is your browser homepage set to?
Blank. I hate having to wait for something to load up every time I start the damn program.
3. Do you use any instant messaging programs? If so, which one(s)?
Trillian, baby! I use it for ICQ, AIM, and Yahoo.
4. Where was your first webpage located?
Wow, that’s a long time ago. That would be http://duncan.bevc.blacksburg.va.us (inactive) – it’s an address that might mean something to former Virginia Tech people – it was when I was going to Tech and got to use part of the Blacksburg Electronic Village, which put ethernet directly into my apartment. This was in 1994, I believe.
5. How long have you had your current website?
Although the format and content have changed over the years, I’ve had a website up continuously since ’94 – first at the above site then when I graduated in 1995 I moved them to their present location at http://www.technomancer.com/~duncan. I don’t know if it’s still the case, but for several years, my Coming Out and Being Visible page was at the top of the list of Yahoo! pages for “Coming Out” and generated a lot of traffic. Nowadays it seems that most of my traffic is generated by web searches for “Tom Brady.” Heh. Aren’t they in for a surprise?
Trillian might have some competition, I found a freeware project called Gaim last night, it supports even more protocols.
I tried Gaim a few months back – it crashed during the install, and that was enough for me. Trillian is free, and it does the protocols I care about; that’s all I need!
Football and Furries.
Me thinks this joke will be lost on many of our athletically challenged furry friends. I just related it to my room mate and got a resounding: Huh?
Hugs. Rollie.
Re: Football and Furries.
Well, maybe the link will help but then again some people may not be sure what “NFL” stands for (hint: it’s not Nebraska Furry Livestock). As for confusion with the famous quarterback, I was even lucky enough to get some fan mail last year!
