Posted: 27 Jun 08 2:01 AM  This is going to sound really sad, unimaginative, and hopelessly prosaic, but I am "mclark" because my name is Mike Clark.  Yeah, yeah, I know. I've been mclark on a number of other computer systems, too, mostly work-related.  My current employer really broke the mold when they made me "michaelc".  It couldn't have been "mikec" because there was already a "mikec" on the system. I know you wanted to know all about that. Outside of work and this site, however, I use Cyberherbalist and Stargazer.  The first because back about eight years ago I started a web-based encyclopedia of medicinal herbs, www.cyberherbalist.com, and although it actually went "live" it was a one-man operation with all the limitations (including budgetary) that that might imply.  A check of The Wayback Machine will show the earliest sampling, but unfortunately not what it looked like.  It was a lovely little site, but I let the domain registration expire through inattention, and it got taken over by some actual company that still uses it.  They are at least making a use of it, so I should be proud of my little creation.  I've found "Cyberherbalist" to be a useful login name due to its rarity as a coined word.  But more recently I try to use Stargazer when I can, because it reflects more closely who I am.  My wife is more the natural healing person.  She's actually a Nutritional Therapy Practicioner. I love astronomy.  If there were any money in it, I'd probably want to have become an astronomer.  But it is a great hobby, because there's tons of material out there to read, and even if you don't own a telescope (which I do not), you can still become an expert-level amateur.   Page 3 of 3 Previous123    Starfist Headquarters  Introductions  What's in a nam...
