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 sure you’ll find something of interest here!
Welcome! I’ve been active off and on over the years. It’s a good community.
Welcome!
Hey, a fellow Canadian! Welcome!
Prairie bro!
Welcome 🤗
Hiya! I am new as well! I just got approved today and am so excited as well.
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! :)
Welcome! There’s something for everyone here!!
Welcome my brother!
