There are people out on the internet searching for my name. It's pretty common, especially when a receipt turns up with my name on it. People get curious, digging to find more about me.So, of course, I'm curious to see what people are finding. I don't have the time to dig through every search engine, but when I get a hit from my name it's reasonable to trace it backwards once in a while.I discover things sometimes, people talking about me without linking to my website. Through a search that brought someone to my webring, today I found a blog which linked to the Mirror Project pic of my reflection inside a hard drive.I really appreciate these whispers, just as much as full-page articles in foreign newspapers. It is always satisfying when someone responds, either verbally or symbolically, with "I like what you've done."
That last link to
receipts1.jpg doesn't work
for us hackermen; we don't
have a Prohosting account, so
I get a 404 error.
As to the life of the virtual
Derek; it is now a separate
entity, and your paths will
cross only occasionally. Hope
you packed all the right
things for him on his journey!

How strange...Apparently it
only works if the referring
page is the Receipt Site, and
not an external webpage. If
I *yawn* think of it
tomorrow, I'll move it over.
It's just the page from the
Melbourne Herald Sun about
the Receipt Site.

Hey, I searched you! I
found the chess thing; are
you still doing that? It
looked like a great program.

Yup -- the first chess club
meeting was a little over a
week ago. This year's group
is smaller than last year's,
due to a bunch of 5th graders
moving on to Junior High, but
it's still a good posse of
potential chessmasters.
