Oops - Mudding again
Posted Jul 10, 2000
It's been a long time. More than ten years, I'd guess. And today I went back, right into some 
MUD. Just the first one that seemed reasonably mature.

Day 2
Posted May 16, 2000
So I just submitted my first guide entry. It is about war http://www.h2g2.com/A326918 . This is mainly because in Germany there is currently a big public discussion about the future of the army (Bundeswehr) in times of military safety and fiscal troubles.
People nowadays tend to suppress aggression the same way they suppress oldage and desease. For instance it is a most common view in Germany to be against the army and at the same time encourage people interested in a military career to enlist. The work of an army is considered dirty work (like a butchers), so people push it away towards those who don't mind. I don't consider it a good sign that the aggressive side of being human is being suppressed. Outbursts of aggression will become less managerable this way. We should learn to live with aggression and control it instead of ignoring it.

Day 1
Posted May 15, 2000
So this is the day I first used h2g2. I read some entries - mostly about the technical side of the guide. I made a go at writing my personal user page using GuideML. And finally I decided to write my first entry to my journal. Let's see if anyone pops around and leaves a message for me.
I wonder if there is an entry on headaches...
