Hi everyone,
I understand we are to have a message from Phil regarding the list of final
candidates... of which I am one.
For those of you who don't know me, I've been NC-229 for several years as well
as RC-12 for the last few, serving in a backup-role for Joe Delahaye who
passed on. I have been involved with Fidonet since late 1993, current author
of D'Bridge as well as some odds & ends for TBBS, Searchlight and Renegade
BBS programs.
I appear to be one of the last remaining Fido developers left. To say that I
have *C experience is an understatement. Due to my work with D'Bridge, I am
subjected to direct-involvement with *C's who have used my software in varying
degrees of functionality. I'm not just a developer... I'm a Sysop as well.
My system, Darkrealms, has functioned as a large Fido-Hub for many years now,
happily tossing mail for many systems in this zone and worldwide. It has a
proven reputation for being reliable and stable... and currently processes
Nodelist/Diff segments for Region 12 as well as "Other nets" like clockwork.
Simply put, if elected, I will represent the best-interests of our zone as well
as make sure our Nodelist/Diff segments compile like clockwork. I always answer
every message and will continue to be the hands-on tech guy for Fido, helping
newcomers join our hobby or troubleshooting an experienced Sysop's
mail setup.
I enjoy music, movies/TV, cooking, family, late-night bonfires on the beach.
If elected, I will step down as RC-12 and NC-229 to avoid "the many hats" and
call a snap election to find suitable replacements. I will still support my
software but ZC work will be made first priority.
Thank you for your consideration and I am happy to answer any questions.
Nick
