Allow me to introduce myself

It’s interesting to see how what comes around goes around in the online world as well as in real life. When I started using

the Internet as a newbie at university back in 1995, one of the first things I figured out how to do was to make my own Web page. The type of pages that a lot of people created back then are similar in concept to what people calls blogs today. Sure, it was HTML 3.2 and I edited it with vi (not even vim!), and the content was boring (who really wants to read about what classes I like and which ones I hate), but it was my own slice of the Web.

For the last twelve years, on and off, I have tried to get back to telling my life story on the Web, but it always ends in failure, trapped between not having time to write about the minutiae of my daily life, and not wanting to expose myself to strangers. This blog is another attempt of this sort.

To briefly introduce myself, my name is Tim Coleman, and I am an Internet addict. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I am an administrator at Wikipedia, I work for a company which produces Web-based software, and I am a member of a few online forums. I run my own Web site and e-mail at home, but this is a bit more reliable than that. I have two small boys, and thus I take a lot of pictures with my digital camera. Basically, I’m online almost all the time. If I had a BlackBerry, I would never sleep.
