Hello Damus! Hello Nostr! This is my first day here and my first post. I’m an old dinosaur trying to learn new tricks. An analog man in a digital world. I started programming in 1975 on old mainframe computers. No monitors. Only printout. I’ve always loved technology and this is no exception. The future is wide open and exciting. Growing up, we would have never imagined cell phones or the internet. Now look! Good luck to everyone involved. Much love. To infinity and beyond! 😎

awesome! welcome to #nostr !

Thanks! Very much appreciated. Now, if I could just figure out how to upload a picture to my profile, I’ll be all set. Thanks for responding. I’ll give you a follow.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Nostr.Build and welcome to Nostr-Damus 🤙

You’ll want to connect a lightning wallet next so we can zap you ⚡️

Ok then. That’s one I’ll have to figure out. (I hope getting zapped doesn’t hurt too much!! 😂). I know, old guy joke! I’m really glad to be here in the company of such welcoming friends. Thanks so much to all! 😎

Getting zapped and zapping others is one of the greatest features of nostr! You are going to love it! I’m not good for much here … more of a shirtless Asian muscle-greeter.. but if you love tech and/or social.. you are gonna fit in well here!

Let me know if you need any advice on popping pecs or obliques!

Thanks again. Loving the warm responses and comments, and the community feeling already.

💜 welcome!

Thank you! 💙

Thank you! The warm welcome is very heartening. I’m looking 👀 forward to a positive experience here.

Hello!

I started programming in 1964. I worked on IBM360s, Honeywell H200s, Varian 620s, DEC PDP-8, PDP-11, 8080, Z80, and a zillion other devices. Now I'm coding in Clojure and working on the nostr client "more-speech" github.com/unclebob/more-speech.

Welcome to Nostr. It's a hell of a place!
