I've more or less left everything2 behind. I'll leave my nodes up because some of them are interesting, but eventually they'll all get deleted or eaten anyway...
A codger is a long-time 'net user who finds himself feeling many magnitudes his real age when comparing his attitudes and actions with newbies and other 'newer' users of his erstwhile generation.

Cool Man Eddie says Sylvar just cooled your writeup on E2 Nuke Request, baby
Cool Man Eddie says discofever just cooled your writeup on What's new, pussycat?, baby
discofever says I saw the node What's new, pussycat? two days ago. Ever since, the song has been on constant replay in my head. Thanks. Thanks alot.
ErisDiscordia says You're a cool man, Codger.
I'm probably the nicest a--hole you'll ever meet. And I'm an eNFj. Find stuff at http://mikelietz.org
I fixed redgirlie's cookie problem (see: ask about: I will perform sexual favors for anyone who can fix my computer).
My favorite short story is The Scarlatti Tilt by Richard Brautigan. My favorite color is drab, nearing hues of dark blue, but potentially with tinges of medium green.
According to CowBotNeal, I'm an old curmudgeon...
I like Belle and Sebastian. And Rammstein. And everything in between, pretty much.
I once dreamt that I was a staircase. That dream was also in black and white.
I think the 'one writeup' paradigm (see my mission drive, above) started early on in the e1 days with Spaceballs: The Flamethrower.
I have a strange fascination with the music of James Bond movies that I have never seen.
Humour is not for the impatient... and the stuff I write is probably not for anybody.
And now, some random, potentially madcap stuff:
Mad"cap` (?), a. 1. Inclined to wild sports; delighting in rash, absurd, or dangerous amusements.
I've got Personal Nodespace now!--but I don't update it much.

from: I have a broken television set in my room
This is a common occurrence for me. At times, I've had three or five broken TVs in my room. Right now, I have some:
And why do I have these? I don't really know. I hardly watch the idiot box. I think I'm just an electronics packrat.
trust your technolust - seen in the end of the Grand Central scene of Hackers: the movie. Personally, I think I have electrolust. And believe me, I'll never trust my electrolust -- it got me into X-10 devices and expensive hi-fi equipment. And Caller-ID. And six current remotes.
from: How did you choose your Everything username?
I call myself Codger and have for a couple years. My previous picks for logins were 'Mot the Barber' and 'Speaker for the Dead': one from Star Trek and the other from the Orson Scott Card book of the same title. I joined the online community many many years ago, back in the days of BBSes, over gopher connections on various freenets. I used irc and chat lines. I pirated megabytes at a time of games and software. I played BBS door games, etc. Gradually, I noticed that many of my fellow users seemed younger, more immature than me -- this probably was just a silly superiority complex, but regardless I began feeling a couple times my actual age.
So I became Codger, online curmudgeon and curious eccentric. Or something like that.
I give you these nodeshells: Please do not cool this node. It doesn't deserve it. If I could reach you, I would cool you. Use them wisely.
