I’m not usually one for propagating memes (a meme is a “copy me” instruction that is backed up by threats and/or promises), but this one spreading amongst the SEO bloggers is kinda fun, so here goes…

1. I wrote a BBS (bulletin board system) from scratch in BASIC when I was 13. I then operated that BBS for months from my home. I didn’t have a dedicated phone line, so I used our one-and-only phone line, much to the irritation of my mother. She would pick up the phone to use it and got modem tones instead of a dial tone. So she would yell at me to shut it off, and I would dutifully comply, cutting the user off abruptly. The name of my BBS? “Fly By Night BBS”, quite fittingly. 😉
2. You may know that I live in New Zealand. But you may not know that I live by the ocean and get to enjoy breathtaking views of Lyttelton Harbor. I feel very blessed. This is what I get to see out the windows while I do the dishes:
   
3. I was 19 when I got married. That was in 1990, and I’m still happily married. (yes, to the same woman!)
4. I am a big fan of the sci-fi shows Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. I used to love Star Trek Voyager and Enterprise, but I’ve seen all the episodes too many times now.
5. I filed a patent application this month. (woohoo!)

Now it’s my turn to tag some SEOs… Paul O’Brien, Chris Smith, Alan Rimm-Kaufman, Shimon Sandler, and Gord Hotchkiss. Thanks to Ian McAnerin for tagging me. 🙂
