Another (semi)milestone: User-ID 404404

, both a palindrome and a kinda-funny number:

Hope he/she doesn't hit too many 404's

^ It's a sad day when my posts outnumber Carol's. Hers are far more interesting - and much better written.

A GENUINE "When you make your 100'th Post"-JUBILEE:

flamerz doesn't speak much, but for the 100'th time, he went straight to the point:

It's a wonder you never smudged it.

The ink can't have been dry when you copied that.

Posts: 111 (0.058 per day) My doctor did tell me not to overdo things.

I just discovered I never noticed my 100th. <sniff>

Still, just to commemorate the fact that I must have written a hundredth post at some point (and, of course, it must have been perfectly crafted, beautifully enunciated and carefully delivered in a non-American accent) I've just updated my avatar.

You mean you was 'oblivious' to it?

(And modest too.)

Yay for Non American accents. So which accent is it?

My online name has quite a long history. I used to run a FidoNet BBS; I called it "Oblivion and You" after a song called "You And Oblivion" by a musician called Robyn Hitchcock. (The latter's been doing stuff with Peter Buck of REM lately, but he tends to be regarded as obscure, sadly.)

Then I discovered a rollercoaster called Oblivion at a British theme park called Alton Towers. It trumpeted itself as the world's first vertical drop rollercoaster. (100 feet in freefall, effectively, and it holds you over the drop for just long enough for you to wish you'd never got onboard.)

So the BBS gained a subtitle. The world's first vertical drop BBS. Nonsense, of course, but as I never had more than a handful of users, nobody much cared.

When the BBS' hard disk died, I spent a while wondering whether it was worth resurrecting the machine, but reluctantly decided it was more work than it was worth. (I think it was one of the last handful of FidoNet nodes in the UK: it wasn't quite me turning out the lights as I left but I was pretty close).

So the name lives on, sort of. I still miss Fido...

The avatar is a shameless copy of the Oblivion (rollercoaster) logo that I built a small animation with, mostly because I wanted to see if I could. (A close inspection will reveal that my animation skills are not exactly brilliant, but I think it's probably okay for a beginner

)

My modesty, as you have clearly indicated, is just one of my fine attributes.

It is English. The one that I think sounds completely normal and Americans think sounds either old-fashioned and quaint, or like a criminal mastermind.

Not all of us made it into cartoons.

@pilgrim
I wouldnt have been so sure oblivion was English
-
was it the combination of him being so articulate and then saying "non-american" that gave it away?
or
was it the use of "<sniff>"
