Uber Busy

It’s been a busy last few days since I got back from my trip to Indianapolis (for thanksgiving dinner). If I wasn’t going to the gym or at holiday parties, I’ve been trying to tackle my clubs website and redesign it from scratch, since the old layout version is not user-friendly. I wanted it to be up and running by the 27th but just got told to hold off since we are changing the domain name and they aren’t sure what they want on the website. UGH. So I’m taking a break from that stress and thought I should update on here.

I’m looking forward to christmas, having christmas morning on my mom’s side of the house (I just have to walk upstairs) and the whole family clan will be there. Our huge family dinner isn’t until Boxing Day at my Aunts and my Mom and brother and I are going to another family dinner on the 27th. So dinner on Christmas day isn’t gonna be huge deal this year since its just the three of us. Though I’m thinking of cooking something on the bbq. How trying to think what to cook is gonna be the hard part.

onlineversary

Silly as it sounds, it just clicked the other day when I was talking to a long time net friend. That we’ve been friends now for 10 years and it also means its my onlineversary. Even though I got an email account in 1995, I wasn’t really into the interacting with people in chat-rooms and what not until the fall after I graduated high school.

Within the 10 years I’ve been online, there has been a lot of changes. I remember Bolt.com one of the first networking sites out there, to everyone having a site(s) on geocites, to if you weren’t hosted by someone/had your own domain you were looked down a upon. Even the battle of who’s browser is better internet explore vs netscape (at the time) now internet explore is against firefox, safari, chrome, opera etc. One thing I don’t miss is the ever so many webrings, tagboards and annoying pop ups on peoples sites.

I still think its neat that I’m still use two of my original screen names/email accounts from 1999.. They are now used mostly for my long time friends/family on chat and to collect all my junk email. All my paddlinggeek screen names have everyone else I talk to on chat.

How many screen names have you gone though before you found the perfect one?
Do you still use any of them?
