Damnit, I must be a geek, my first posting I can find is "Alien 22 rewerse two
instruction dwarf."  Which is a posting to the corewar group with my first two
warrirs I wrote.  Damnit, why can't my first post not be about coding.

You can also monitor my evil proprietary OS/2 past in there.  The most interesting of
which (with respect to GNOME at least) notes this:

  "GUI SUX ... I use os/2 but I try to use TSHELL if I can ... GUI is just a 
   waste of processor power"

Must have been during my 'l33t days.  There are also some more embarrasing posts
from me if you search hard enough ... :)

I feel all sentimental now ...
