A decade on

A decade ago today I met my husband online, through a newsgroup. In those days, meeting people on the Internet was still a bit unusual and sometimes you wouldn’t admit that you met online, and certainly not in a geeky sci fi group!

I still find it amazing that this newsgroup post was the start of it all. Happy decade, Pete.

    Whereas I, a terrible, terrible nerd, met my girlfriend of almost 7 years in a nightclub of all places. What on earth was I doing there?

    Wow… so there’s still hope for the rest of us nerds… ;)

    Aw! Happy 10 years!!!

    Eric and I just started watching the X-Files from the beginning, btw. We’ll be sure to contemplate the desk issue and any others you and Pete advise. You geeks.

    Thanks everyone :)

    Jenna - isn’t the show horribly dated now! All that pre-Millennial hysteria.
