"It’s ironic that the one person I always considered to be the independent loner inadvertently provided the only consistent avenue for contact between all of us." -- Jonathan Gillespie

Independent loner. That is a difficult label; I am not saying it isn't accurate. It is just difficult to deal with at times. It is not as if I want to be a "loner;" I am just picky about my associations and I don't decide on them very quickly. I tend to observe people for a long time before I really even talk to them. It is sort of like I need to figure the person out before I decide if I even want to talk to them. It makes being a social person very difficult.

What I find ironic is that Jonathan posted this today (Saturday). While helping two of my closest friends move today, I was thinking about how all of my close friends are moving up and away, in this case only thirty miles, but still, in a way leaving me more of a loner than before. I am ecstatic for all of my friends that are accomplishing things and getting ahead. I just wish I could join them a little quicker than I am.

That is just a little rambling and a sampling of the things I think about; don't make much of it — I don't. Completely unrelated to that, I updated winfo to version 0.4 a couple of days ago. I didn't post anything here, other than updating the code page, because I doubt you all use it. And if you do, you can subscribe to the freshmeat.net project page to be emailed whenever I update it.

Well, I am honored to be one of your closest friends. I just want to tell you, though, that you are more than welcome in our place at anytime. Besides, why do you think we got two bedrooms? :)

Independant Loner is not a label I would give you James. You are a person who is careful of who his friends are, but you do seem to love groups that you are familiar with. Desktop Days is a great example. As for people moving on, that is one of the things we all face. Hopefully they all move on to better things like Jay did.

A loner isn't a completely accurate label for you, I feel. You are very active in the UG, and I think that some people are just more comfortable communicating in a digital medium.

I just always figured you were picky about your friends. That's what makes it so nice to be in that group. You've always been there for me when I need you, and I hope you can say the same of me.
