</unlurking after ~1 week>
Hey folks, just wanted to take a minute and say "Hi!" as it's been a while; so long in fact that I can't even figure out how long it's been since I've been on the list, but I'm finally back! It's good to see all the old familiar names in my email inbox, like DHSinclair, and Steinie, and James Boswell, and Thane S, and Steve T, and Jim McCraw, and Christopher Fisk, and Eli Allen and Harry McGregor and the Brians (Weeden and Seitz)! Who said you can't go home again! ;) And the list is still here and it's the same-old discussion with DH and all his *OLD* toys and Thane still dealing with fixing other people's problems and everyone asking what's the best; it's so cool! Anyway, just wanted to say hi and hello and all that! Hope to be posting more soon as I've had thoughts on a few threads I wanted to start, but just no time right now (in addition to just getting sick this week), but you'll see some soon! ;) Now some nostalgia/history-related questions: is Jim still around as I see that the mailman page says it's run by jedwards, but I haven't seen him post on here yet.any others of the old guard around that I haven't seen post either? Does someone have a history and the evolution of the group, either btw? Maybe I'm just being nostalgic, but wanted to know how things progressed while I was off saving the internet (ok just working on helping the big dotcoms build out their websites) and find out what happened. Did we ever have any other cons/meetups after 2001 or so, or has it all just stayed virtual? I guess I must have lost track after I lost my Columbia.edu email account, when I left NYC and moved to LA.anyone with better archives than me know?! :P Anyway, great to be back, and great to see that the "collective" (at least this one, as I'm a member of at least three others) is still here! Cheers, and Happy New Year 2009 btw! BINO (Bino Gopal, aka keltraine online most places now)
