This is another place that isn't going to start sorted... their are either too many ways to sort people, or too few; I'm not sure which. At some point, I may sort according to where/when I met people. I'll stick to first names because I can.
Kelly:
Tucker: One of my ex-roommates, Tucker is a really cool guy. He plays lots of games, and writes good (even in Perl).
Jacob: A really cool 30-something who lives in the greater DC area. Jacob is a member of the Wunderland Toast Society, which is full of nifty people. Jacob just happens to be the one I find niftiest.
Liam: A cool guy who's also part of the DC-area gaming crowd. His website has some good stuff, even if he does index in hexadecimal instead of something useful.
"The Dinnergroup": A catch-all nametag for a large group of people who at some point *probably* lived in Blacksburg and knew some strange people there.
"The Bittergroup": A parody of the above. Yes, we're so odd, some of us felt the need to parody an inside joke. By "some of us," I really mean Adam... but he was always a bit queer, anyhow... and he was president of the LGBTA at Virginia Tech for a year to prove it.
