General

The University of Waterloo. I graduated with a Bachelors of Mathematics with a major in Computer Science. I was affiliated with both St.Jerome's and Conrad Grebel

Where did you go to elementary school?

St.Norbert Immersion

Where did you go to high school?

Westgate Mennonite Collegiate

Where are you from orginally?

I grew up on Marchand Road in the Municipality of Richot (just outside of St.Norbert (which is just outside of Winnipeg)). I consider myself to be from 'Winnipeg'.

Where do you live now?

Seattle, Washington, USA

Where do you work?

I work at Microsoft. I used to be a developer at Transpose (Which I co-founded). Prior to that I was CEO of Fairtunes before we sold it.

Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?

No, I'm single.

I'm a stalker tell me more!

Specific

Why haven't/don't you mention [insert your/their name here] more in your weblog?
[Angie, 7/10/01]

Sometimes I just forget, or sometimes what we did wasn't 'blog worthy' (whatever that means). If you invite me out to do something crazy chances are it'll get mentioned.

How can I get in touch with Mark Schaan?
[Martha, 7/10/01]

You can find him at 'kanadier (at) yahoo.com'. At one point John and Matt owned markschaan.com and markaschaan.com but recently we let the names lapse back into the public domain. If Mark wanted we'd host a website for him with contact info but first he'd have to buy a domain name.

What's your ICQ number?
[Sones, 7/10/01]

My ICQ number is 83387869. WARNING. My ICQ number used to be on my webcam page but I got A LOT of ICQs from a lot of random people and eventually tired of having to continually respond to ICQs from people just wanting to chat about nothing. So if you want to just chat, or stalk me, don't bother, I won't respond to your pleas to either get on my list or read your messages. My ICQ number is generally reserved for close friends.

I want a weblog, hook me up!
[Angie, Nick, Jonathan, Maeve]

  1. Find an available domain name with Whois.
  2. Buy it somewhere cheap.
  3. Set your 'domain name server' to ns.cgcsys.net.
  4. Send/promise me $15CDN/month.
  5. Email me and I'll setup the rest and you'll be on your way in 24hours.

Have you ever emailed with anyone famous?
[Nick's weblog]

Yes! But you'll have to be the judge of how famous they are: Courtney Love, Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame), Michael Robertson (ceo of mp3.com), Rob Lord (founder of Winamp), and Guitar guy for the Bloodhound Gang.

Are you trying to tell me you're gay?
[My Mom]

No. I'm a metrosexual (or if you prefer, a breeder). Though if I was gay I'd tell you so.

Can I send you spam or forwards?

NO! Not even if it's the funniest forward that you've ever seen and you laughed for hours.

What kind of digital camera do you have? How can I learn more about it?

A Pentax Optio S4. Fits in an Altoids tin!

Website

Who reads this damn thing anyway?

Who doesn't!? :)

What software do you use/recommend for blogging?

I use Radio Userland which publishes to my server. If you are a hacker who has a laptop that is occassionaly offline then get Radio Userland. Otherwise I recommend Moveable Type or TypePad.
