[extropy-chat] I'm back.

[Dan Clemmensen]

Hi. I just re-subscribed.

I realized after reading the archives that this is the most 
intellectually stimulating
group of people that I have ever been part of. I simply have to find a 
way to re-integrate with
this group. I've drifted away twice, now, for trivial reasons.

I missed you all. I'm back.

Interestingly the single most obvious difference in the list is that 
Eugin's english has improved.This
makes no effective difference: his posts still have a maximal 
information density.

It will take me awhile to catch up. and I still have a technical 
difficulty to solve: I travel to
Montreal on alternate weeks and have a minor problem accessing my 
personal e-mail.
I intend to fix this over the weekend.

For new members:
    In 1996l, on this list, I asserted that the singularity would occur 
prior to 2006. I had no viable reason for
that asertion. I still have no viable reason for that assertion.
    My areas of expertise include data communications, system 
architecture, and network architecture.
My areas of interest include nanotechnology, the Singularity, Linux, and 
just about everything we
discuss on this list.

My current hobby project is a homebrew STM (Scanning Tumnnelling 
Microscope.) IT doesn't work yet.
