Hi everyone,
Compared to you I think I am like baby -- I'm in my early thirties(!) and firmly in the "fan" category vis-a-vis early web stuff. Though I do work mostly in academic environments here in Vancouver where tilde pages have not entirely died out(!) and I have written 6502 assembly, albeit poorly. I feel like I've been repeatedly grandfathered in to gen X open tech circles due to being a very specific kind of nerd, and I've been angling for them to change my title at work to "Director of Obsolescence," no luck yet. I clearly made a lot of progress on http://www.tilde.club/~alex/ when I was trying to impress Paul in 2014.
My most visible recent project is doing the harvesting for https://www.frdr.ca/repo/ , in case you want to discover Canadian research data! I'm also on https://twitter.com/axfelix a lot because, darn it, Twitter is still fun if you aggressively curate who you're following and use a third party client (remember those?)

Hi everyone! I'm Matt, I write about the financial industry at Bloomberg, lurk at http://www.tilde.club/~mattlevine/, and have absolutely no technical aptitude or cool programming side project, whoops. I'm mostly here out of nostalgia for Pine, which is only partially satisfied by using Bloomberg email. Yay!

Anyone else have a mild panic attack when they opened their email client this morning and saw 100+ emails‽ :)
I'm Chris, a lurker and total imposter who is delighted to be here. By day I work at the Wikimedia Foundation trying to make the movement less bad. By night I volunteer in the WordPress world and start a thousand projects that I never seem to finish.
Yours, Chris Koerner clkoerner.com
