Long long ago, someone from TCN contacted me in regards to some problems that they were having that were being traced back to a room on my IRC Network.
After trading some logs back and forth, the problem was dealt with, and I remained in contact with said person. Sharing a mutual friend, I remained a person that said person would go to when they needed assistance with various situations. Eventually, they required some expansive server space with which to expand their site, and I helped to set them up. As a token of thanks, I was given a symbolic Administrator title on their sites, and I stuck around as a "presence"... rumour has it that some actually were afraid of me or something

With time, further expansion was necessary, and this person decided it was time to buy out their hosting company, and I (and my IRC Network) came along with it (bet she's regretting THAT decision now

I guess I've sort of been here ever since.
Oh yeah, it all sort of led to where I am now, too... (longterm) engaged to an amazingly wonderful and dedicated woman

/wub.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':wub:\' /> , who has this strangely entertaining hobby of beating kids into submission with a broom.. I mean, mop
