November 17, 2001 (person)

It is the 17th of November (well, it's not, but I am future-posting this). A quite normal day for many of us. For me however...

It has been exactly one month since I joined E₂!

It has been two rather hectic months, in which I have gone from being a nobody here on E2, to still being a nobody. However, I have grown to become a rather noticable nobody, and I feel that I have managed to contribute to the E2 as a whole.

But not only have I done what I can to improve E2, I have also changed quite a lot myself. I have always been a photographer... That means that I always walk about looking at things from different angles. Seeing if I can turn something into a photo.. Freeze time in a way nobody has frozen time before.

Well.. I still do that. Except now, I keep looking around me, wondering if I can node as well. Sad, isn't it :)

Proofs that I have become an E2 addict:

• I have (almost) worn out two mentors (the oolong man and professor pi).
• I am writing this (as HTML coding) straight onto my Palm Pilot while walking to my university.
• I use E2 as the background source for most articles I write (both for class and for the student paper).
• When E2 went down the 15th of November, I felt genuinely depressed
• I am an xp-whore (yes, I officially admit it. I start crying when I get downvoted, and I'm in heaven when I get upvoted)
• I have gotten something that I feel are fairly good friends here on E2
• As you are reading this (on Nov 17th), I am making a fool of my self at my first noder gathering

But.. Of course.. the ultimate proof...

• In 30 days, I have noded 111 writeups. (woo!)

I'm quite aware that certain people have done loads more noding in lots shorter time.. But, in a horribly selfish and arrogant way, I am still proud of myself.

ONE MONTH DOWN.. and.. eh... loads of months to go :)

oh yeah.. to celebrate this, I have updated my homenode a wee bit
