   Martin to All   
   Well, its still alive

   Been awhile since I posted here. And Red Dwarf has had yet another spin   
   (series 10 now?). I have not seen the very latest series. And file   
   sharing to see it? Well, sadly I was born in the USA (yes, yet another   
   ugly American), and file sharing has become such a hidious crime here.   
   Forget about those terrorists and Trayvon Martin (an African American)   
   getting blown away by some neighborhood watch bozo (paranoid Mexican), we   
   have to go after and prosecute people who download music and tv shows and   
   movies that can no longer make any money in any sort of general release.   
   For any relatively new people here, the name is Martin Jones. Alot has   
   happened since I last posted here...alot. I remember when I got my hands   
   on a way to post to usenet back in 1996 (WEBTV is dead! Long live AppleTV   
   - a TRUE browser with HD tv!). My knowledge of computers languages back   
   then were BASIC and Machine Language programming and quickly caught onto   
   HTML and Javascript back in then( I can now add .CSS, VBScript, Debain,   
   and Python. Java and C++ nearly had me checking into an a padded room   
   wearing that special white jacket. Back in 96 I was, what you would call   
   a troll. Yes, great shame befell me. But if anyone remembers me from back   
   then, I am quite a different person. Anyone remember the Occupy movement   
   here? I spent time in jail defending the beliefs they encompassed.   
   Trolling? The real world came along and changed that silly stuff. I also   
   have found a fantastic woman (girlfriend) and she has helped me to be the   
   true person I hid from the internet. Life has demanded I grow up to a   
   certain extent and I have. Oh, very important to NOT lose your sense of   
   humor! If you lose that, you've lost everything. Uh. I'd rather not do   
   the Martin 'Ace' Jones thing. There is only one Ace Rimmer and he's just   
   a fictional character.

   Smoke pot. It's better for you than Larger or wine. My kidneys are living   
   proof.
