Hello all! I'm tickled pink to have my application approved to join this instance. I suspect that the bar isn't all that high, but just let me have my fantasy.

I've been online since I figured out how to hook up a military surplus acoustic coupler modem to my VIC-20 way back when. Through all of my BBS, FidoNet, Usenet, a couple of different computer clubs (including one dedicated to UNIX!) and a career as a programmer, I somehow remained unaware of SDF.

If I believed in such things, I would say that the universe is telling me something, because I just retired and one of my objectives for this new phase of life is to restore my "all things computer" hobby that I left behind when I went pro.

It's summer here in Southern Saskatchewan, so that means fishing, swimming, hiking, camping, gardening, etc. When I switch to my winter activities, I'll start rummaging around on the SDF servers and see where it takes me.

Welcome to SDF. I'm also new. I found SDF when looking for a Lemmy instance to escape Reddit. Little did I know what SDF truly was. I was stunned to discover the Unix servers. It brought me right back to my childhood.

If you'll accept early 20s as childhood (I do!) then me too! :)
