Welcome, thrak! What made you decide to make the leap from lurker to poster? Tell us all about yourself. If you've been lurking you already know all about us so it's only fair. Posts: 5509 | Registered: May 1999

I am a computer programmer from Raleigh NC. I used to work on games, but moved to a more secure position. I have been reading OSC since he taught at App State in the 80's. I am a big fan of Philip K Dick and if anyone can guess the origin of my handle, they could guess my favorite band.
I also grew up in the mountains and hope to move back someday. I dig Bluegrass and Punk (Is that strange?).
I know. Information overload.
I will be quiet for a bit now.

Pirates is a good suggestion. I am also considering some movies like Fargo or The Shining for the snowed in feeling.

I wish things were good enough to be hiring Richard. As soon as things turn around, I will let you know.

Has anyone seen All the Real Girls ? It was filmed in the mountains of NC. Perhaps I will watch that...

I jest saw Big Fish and I thought Ewen was great... still I would prefer Renee even it was from Cold Mountain (wish she was awesome in). Posts: 115 | Registered: Aug 2003

Raia, it is great movie. I am glad I saw it alone though. It is tough for me to see a movie about a son and his father without getting emotional. Posts: 115 | Registered: Aug 2003

I agree -- I'm no softie, but something about the "passing on of generations" theme gets me every time. The metaphor used is especially well filmed here.
Thrak, I'm just putting out feelers like any other local senior, so thanks for whatever info you have. Feel free to contribute to my beverage fund by participating on Party Poker, of course Posts: 1839 | Registered: May 1999

Anytime Richard. If you are local to the triangle, perhaps we can get a table together some night.

Raia, I am sure you will love it with your friends. I think that Richard explained my situation well... Posts: 115 | Registered: Aug 2003

You DO have a welcome thread! Welcome! Where did you find the Tron game? '84? '85? It's sooo hard to remember those days . . . like anyone would want to . . . except for Wayne's World, of course - kind of like what Grease did for my mom's generation, I suppose . . .
*ends rambling*
Just remember what Bob said - now that you're here - you'll never go. They might even offer to pay to make you stay. Posts: 5609 | Registered: Jan 2003

Hello, and welcome to Hatrack. I lurked for a while too, but before I registered. I don't remember how long, and at the time, I just wanted to hear people's opinions on things; I didn't care what their names were. Now I wish I would have paid more attention, as figuring who's who would be a lot easier now.

Shan, the Tron game is currently in storage, but I hope to find room for it in my house soon. Tron was the inspiration for me to become a programmer, so it holds a special place in my heart.
Da Goat, I know what you mean. Now I am trying to remember what I read from whom. Tough job.
