  <content>Hi All,

I Thought I should probably write a first post since I have been lurking here for... &lt;i&gt;years&lt;/i&gt;. Owen originally set me up an account a long long time ago, even before he moved to Japan, I think. But it's taken me this long to get around to posting.

I'm a pathological lurker. Even on boards where I'm very interested in the topic &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; know the answer, rarely will I post.

Can you judge enough about a person from where he/she spends his/her time online? Perhaps for some people, and thinking about it, probably for me. My top sites for trawling and/or procrastinating are: &lt;a href="http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?username=tempest;"&gt;Rockclimbing.com&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/joegray.html"&gt;PentaxForums&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mapmyrun.com/user_profile?u=532057205951"&gt;MapMyRun&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=505102922&amp;ref=name"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joe_gray/"&gt;Flickr&lt;/a&gt;.

I also have a &lt;a href="http://joegrays365food.blogspot.com/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; where I'm uploading a photo of something I've eaten for everyday for 1 year. &lt;i&gt;365 Days of Food&lt;/i&gt; or some-such. Today is Day 127, which is just over a third of the way.

Perhaps it shows that I try to import all the things from my "real world" into my digital one, or perhaps it just shows I spend too much time procrastinating online... Either way, that just about sums me up... I'm Joe</content>
