What do you know about me?

[scribble]

Okay, I've been trying to dig up the dirt on myself all day. Despite having the advantage of already knowing everything about myself, I seem to have a very low internet profile.

So I'm curious: what can YOU find out? I'll even give you guys the advantage of my real name -- after you've had a chance to try to find it yourself. I'll give you a hint, though, I've posted it here on JREF before, I'm certain.

If no one digs up anything good or finds the right person, I'll post my real name here later on and see what you get then.

bonus points for: find my real name, and search for it on google.com -- only one of the links on the first page is me. Which one?

[Lothian]

Well I googled and found loads of stuff. Apparently, you are some sort of informal drawing.

Hrm... that sounds fair, actually... but if you did use that to get your answers, let me know, since I know I've never said anything to give away personal details on paltalk around people I don't know and trust.

[Soapy Sam]

Flee! All is known!

I don't really have time to google you at the moment, but I did find your name. Recalling that you occasionally sign your name “-Chris,” I searched for that name using the search function. No luck. On a hunch, I searched for “Christopher.” I found this (http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&postid=248862&highlight=christopher#post248862) post. You are Christopher Jansen.



Hey, Chris Jansen, are you aware of the NG 1.1 (http://xbox.ign.com/articles/525/525886p1.html?fromint=1) download?!

Hey, good job on finding the name!

I was *not* aware of that, and I was just playing Ninja Gaiden a few minutes ago.

Would you belive I still haven't finished that game? I did upgrade to Unlabored Flawlessness, though, and it's made the "boos fights" a cinch. To be fair, I haven't played it in at least a month, but ... sheesh. I'm right near the end, though, I'm sure (just how many lives has Doku got anyhow?!!! And that sister-chick, too... doesn't anyone ever stay dead?!)

Thanks for the notice on NG!


(When I offered bonus points for figuring which one on the google search is me, I meant to have the guessers search for "Chris Jansen")

[Chris Haynes]

A google search on your "Chris" name reveals 2040 hits... on your full first name it is 713. So that would be a bit of slogging.

There are advantages to having a fairly common name. A google search on the name I usually use brings up 5700 hits (where I know at least two are me)... and on my given name (only used by my relatives when they are mad at me) brings up 126 hits.

On the last google search there are at least two hits that include my dear hubby's last name. It is an uncommon name and a google search brings up 539 hits... and only 174 if you request "English only". It turns out there are only a couple of English speaking families with that name... Us and a family in an English speaking country on the other side of the world.

As a refugee from Usenet... and a spam recipient from when I posted to the Healthfraud list... I try to be very careful about names and email addresses now.

Since I've given my first name, my last name, where I live, and my face (as avatar), I won't be giving any prizes to anyone who gets who I am.

First person to stalk me, though, gets the prize of several years in a secure unit.

Cheers,
Rat.

No reason to believe it's scribble, but a google on "Christopher Jansen" turned up this amusing report:
Drug Possession Defendant Christopher Jansen, on trial in March in Pontiac, Michigan, said he had been searched without a warrant. The prosecutor said the officer didn't need a warrant because a "bulge" in Christopher's jacket could have been a gun. "Nonsense," said Christopher, who happened to be wearing the same jacket that day in court. He handed it over so the judge could see it. The judge discovered a packet of cocaine in the pocket and laughed so hard he required a five minute recess to compose himself.On this page: http://www.everytingjamaican.com/jamaicatalk/t1208

[Bearguin]

Well. I find nothing associated with me from my username here so people are free to try.

If I use my real name (pretty common name) I do get two hits that relate to postings I made 7 or 8 years ago, but nothing current.

[Samus]

I know you wrote a Windows CE program called GraphIt, and it is available here (http://www.pilotzone.com/wince/preview/32312.html).

I know what industry you work in, and what company just fired you, but per your request here (http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&action=showpost&postid=1870541013), I won't say what it is.

I know your name is Chris Jansen, but of course, you've already mentioned it in this thread so that's not very clever. You're in your late twenties IIRC.

You're a wannabe unicyclist.



Oh, and I just maxed out your credit cards. I've been wanting one of those fancy A-2 leather jackets for a while now, thanks. :)

Hahah... that one is NOT me, but I've found that one myself as well. Heheh.

Whoa! Thanks for the news; I pulled that program from the market years ago, because I couldn't support it. I can't believe tucows is still offering it!

That's pretty embarassing, in a way -- I've talked here before about how much I've lerned since then profesionally and exactly how bad that program is.

Ooooh, you win the bonus prize! -- kind of. I never got better at unicycling than going about 15 feet in a straight line, in a panic. I think the uni is still around someplace, though. I'm guess I'm still kind of a wanna be unicyclist, but I don't intend to ever invest the time to become one. Heh!

Haaa! If you knew anything about my credit, you'd know it would never stretch that far!!

Thanks for the info, Commander Cool. I am impressed You even found one I didn't find myself (the link to graphit at tucows. Shame on them!!)

That's what you think. Try getting his attention in a crowd. More than once this has happened: "Chris... Chris... Chris... Christopher... Jansen... CHRIS... CHRIS... SCRIBBLE!", then he responds "What?".

[Brian]

Kirkwood? Maybe the 3600 block or so?

Born 1970?

No, neither one. You missed the birthday by about five years and I'm not sure I've ever heard of Kirkwood -- I assume that's either a street or a suburb of Chicago.

Oh, and if anyone cares, CC PMed me his guess at which company had just terminated me. He did get the name of a company I've been employed by, but not for roughly a decade. I remember working there and we had a big party when there was a new product we'd just produced, and I was the only one in the company who was too young to drink.

[Soapy Sam]

Just a moment...

You are Tootmoseys the 23rd, sub-assistant Pharaoh (never can spell that word) of Aswan County 1144- 1099bc. You were run over by a bullock cart. You have a very small pyramid (more of a hump really) , now submerged in the Nile Delta.

How am I doing?


Oh - you need to know who you are NOW? Boy, are you confused!

It seems you can, actually.

Cheers,

[Soapy Sam]

Took 3 tries though!:D

[DrMatt]

On the other hand, my identity is and has consistently been completely transparent. There's lots of stuff about me on the web, and more than 50 percent of Google searches on my full name lead to real connections to me, even though I have a moderately common name.

But Googlism.com claims Google knows nothing genuine about me, and just two things, one of which is cryptic and the other of which appears to be the result of a spammer--quite probably Sanford Wallace himself--hacking Usenet back in the days when spammers were first getting themselves into serious trouble for flooding mail gateways and I complained to my ISP about certain high-volume spammers. At that time, somebody created a huge number of alt.* newsgroups which have never been used, and which most newsservers no longer carry.

[Thumper]

I don't have a very common name (in America), but it take Google like 28 entries (out of 238) until they finally get something to link to me.

[Gr8wight]

Well, a google search of my screen name will lead immediately to my real name, and two e-mail addresses, which are both currently valid. A google search for my full name in quotes yields over 11,400 results, and I have yet to find a single one that is related to me in any way. Where do I go from there?

I know Scribble has 2 cats, they look a little bit like this:
http://home.ripway.com/2004-1/51619/ScribblesCat.jpg

Scribble has a girlfriend, some of you may know her as Chareen or as Psychic Molly.

Scribble is a practicing Satanist, and he is found of cackling. He used to be the owner of a pet buzzard he called Petey, but poor Petey was eaten by the cats.

He is the developer of the most useful and simply awe-inspiring work of 8-bit mastery, the GraphIt, and in his spare time he trolls messageboards under the sockpuppet named "!Xx+-Rational-xX! / Interesting Ian".

At the age of 8, Scribble was discovered in his bedroom dancing with his dog whom he had dressed to look like his mother. According to his mother, "the lipstick can be replaced but these psychological scars are never going to heal".

Scribble isnt gay, and he says those love letter Nie Trink Wasser PMs to him make him feel uncomfortable.

Scribble's used to play highschool football, he was #69 and always wore the red jersey. He'd frequently stuff computer nerds in lockers and throw firecrackers at the band geeks.

One time Scribble created a mathematical formula to calculate the next highest primer number from any given number, he wrote this formula on a napkin, the napkin was used to wipe spilled lomein from his pants. After ruining the napkin, Scribble said "$%&@!!".

The skepchick Scribble would most like to meet is SquishyDave, followed by Luciana Nery, Renata, Cleopatra, and Kitten.

Obviously someone has been talking. Every word you said is true.

Well, every part I quoted at least... Heheheh

I keep laughing every time I read that though, Yahweh. Thanks... that's some good stuff. Heheh
