Like some others, my name also started out being a character in a MUD (started 1993, still playing various ones). I chose it at the time because Stings 'Message in a bottle' was going through my head.. And thats why my .plan in MUD is usually:

Just a Castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
No-one here but me
More loneliness
Than anyone could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair.

So there you go.. And nothing whatsoever to do with a certain Tom Hanks film, who should be paying me copyright ;)

- Plain old 'Jess Robinson' in RL -

C. (or 'Lady C.' or 'Castaway')

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
