Search for yourself...on the Internet Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Anyone ever get bored and do this?

Worse, anyone ever find themselves?

Because I just did...

Typed in "David Floyd" (excluding the word "Pink") on Yahoo, and site #62 was a post I made on an old message board in 1999. Iain Lindley was on there too

The search continues.

Anyone else?

been there, done that.

luckily there are a ton of people with my name . Helps protect my real name a little bit. I was disappointed my real name showed up on irc. I have to figure out how to edit my options.

P.S. If I search my screen name I get too many results. It's a commone word- especially in the news.

This searching for yourself thingy is fun.

I have a fairly uncommon name, and was amazed to find dozens of people around the world with the same one as me.

Didn't find myself though!

Enter the AD-FREE zone

I search for myself on Google occasionally, in order to see which college papers have picked up my opinion column. Luckily, I share a name with a respected intellectual, so my results are buried a good ten pages deep on Google. You have to enter a few qualifiers to get to my stuff, so my secret identity is safe...

When I do my maiden name, I get an old newspaper article that briefly mentions me and a Beatles quiz thing that I did a long time ago. Nothing with my married name, not surprisingly.

Although there are a fair few people called Paul Hanson in this great wide world, I appear to be the only one called Paul Jeroen Hanson.

Makes me feel kind of special.

I have only been able to find one person (except for me) who has the same first name and last name as I (that was some 12 year old South-American girl), but when including my middle name, I got no results... guess I'm special
