I do still have the original email account associated with it, so performing a reset wasn't a problem. The interface is virtually the same as when I left, so no problems there (aside from the profile pages - I <em>do</em> miss those...). One piece of feedback I can provide is the mild irritation of having to edit posts to reformat text and add hyperlinks. If Wordpress has a client (I think that's the right term) for modifying html during post creation, that'd be grand. Simply changing the display name works for me - no need to create a new account.

If you go to the dashboard (up there on the right) you should find a place where you can change the name that appears on your posts/comments. If you want to change your user name we probably have to create a new user account. Either Robert or I can help you with that. Otherwise welcome back to the campfire. And how did you remember your password after ten years? As you have been away so long you might be familiar with this interface.

I hate the idea of politics coming between friends, especially on a place like the Habitable Zone, but I don't think anyone expected the last four years to turn out like they did either.

Concerning the zone, I've been meaning to come back for ages, but life can keep you busy, and occasionally away from an internet connection.

RL howls at the moon every day, RobVG drops by pretty regularly, and SDAITech1 trolls once in a blue moon. The right side of the old guard seems to be hanging out wherever MAGAnoids hang out. All in all, there isn't much all left, I'm afraid. I left the Bay Area at the start of 2018 and settled in Sacramento. At the time it was an expedient choice, close with a somewhat lower cost of living. But I've grown to really like it. I live downtown (in Squeaky Fromme's old place), the environment is old Victorians and tree-shaded streets, and remarkable diversity compared to the BA. I highly recommend it (to a select few--I don't want to be responsible for burying a lovely city in Bay Area expats). We could use some variety, Blade. Hope you stick around at least a little while to brighten the place up. Hi Blade, good to see you back.

Long story short, I'm still in college (had a hiatus while I odd-jobbed for a while - HOO boy, that was fun -_-). Still on track for a ME degree, and now I have a whole array of skill sets as well to fall back on. I think the hard part so far is breaking out of the Bay Area (Ironic, since most people want to break INTO the place), but I'm making progress. Between living costs, unemployment rates, and the ensueing chaos, I've made it a goal in life to leave the place for good. By the way, where is everyone? I see you, ER, podrock, and BuckGalaxy from the old guard. Anyone know where the rest are? The past decade has been a busy one for me.
