			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, according to <a href="http://www.dragonbe.com">Michelangelo van Dam&#8217;s</a> helpful &#8220;<a href="http://in2it.be/whotaggedwho.php">Who Tagged Who</a>&#8221; tool, I can see that I was &#8220;tagged&#8221; by 4 people in this amazing PHP-Community-based-blog-meme. The rules are simple, and I have waited long enough to fulfill my duties to contribute. Better late than never!</p>
<p>7 Things you may not know about me:</p>
<ol>
<li>I&#8217;ve been working at the same desk job since I was 15 (now 22). I was a hardware technician at first, then became the network engineer/system admin, and am now a systems developer (fancy title for programmer).</li>
<li>I have a slight obsession with <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/spooons/sets/72157612421679516/">collecting</a> and passing out stickers.</li>
<li>My nickname (spoon) originates from a mock stand-up comedy routine I did during a class in Middle School. In the script, someone was insulting me with names of common household items. One of the insults was &#8220;SPOON!&#8221; Ever since then, it just stuck with me. Yes, boring, lame, I know. I used to tell people I was either obsessed with The Tick! or an ex-heroine addict.</li>
<li>I use PHP on windows, exclusively. That isn&#8217;t the shocking part. Are you ready for it? I use PHP, on windows&#8230; with <strong>Apache</strong> &#8211; exclusively. *GASP* Yes, I am one of the few, the proud, the WAMP stack users (in a production environment, no less!!!)</li>
<li>I co-own a few web properties with my Fiance, <a href="http://www.redthreaddiy.com">Katie Soltysiak</a>, which include: <a href="http://www.diyscene.com/forum">DIYscene &#8211; Alternative Craft and Indie Design Forum</a>, <a href="http://www.eburl.net">eBurl &#8211; Short, Trackable eBay URLs</a>, <a href="http://etsy.ownthehour.com">OwnTheHour &#8211; Independent Etsy Promotion</a></li>
<li>I am scared of Linux.</li>
<li>I have a police record in the state of Wisconsin.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong><br />
7 More people to add to this meme.</strong><br />
Now, since I am so late with getting my post written, almost everyone I can personally think of has been tagged. So I will do my best.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.mawhorter.net/">Cory Mawhorter</a>: Cory is a past co-worker and friend. He went on to become a professional <a href="http://www.borderhopping.com/">vagabond</a> and created <a href="http://facelift.mawhorter.net/">FLIR (FaceLift Image Replacement) &#8211; an alternative to sIFR</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.tonybibbs.com/">Tony Bibbs</a>: I don&#8217;t know you, but you started this, and have yet to be tagged. TAG *runs*</li>
<li>Jack Bauer</li>
<li>I give up.</li>
<li>-</li>
<li>-</li>
<li>-</li>
</ol>
<p>Ok, so, I failed. Anyways, here are the rules for&#8230; Cory &amp; Jack to follow:</p>
<ul>
<li> Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.</li>
<li>Share seven facts about yourself in the post &#8211; some random, some weird.</li>
<li>Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.</li>
<li>Let them know they&#8217;ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.</li>
</ul>
