Jeff Pulver.Five Things You Don't Know About Me
#1. I have a dental implant. The doc's had to do a sinus bone graft, let that heal, then put in a titanium post, let that hell, then build a cap around it. Next up, boobs.
#2. I co-founded my first internet startup when I was 12. My brother, myself, and a couple of our friends took a 1 line BBS I ran out of my bedroom, got a loan from a bank, and added 3 more phone lines and some additional computer equipment. We grew it over the next 5 or so years into a small local ISP. We tried to hold onto our roots as a multiplayer gaming network / chat system for as long as we could, but ended up mainly selling dialup internet access. Eventually, everyone else had gone to college or taken positions elsewhere. I discovered girls, and we sold off the remaining assets. Online Illusions BBS (1993-1999ish), 407-722-5020. Word.
#3. I have way to strong of an affection for Morgan Freeman. I constantly argue with Gavin trying to convince him to let us name our servers after Freeman characters. I'm not sure why.
#4. I was very active in my college fraternity, so much so that I was named an "International
Top Teke" in 2003. Up until our recent move, I was still involved as a Chapter Advisor at the University of Maryland chapter.
LLT fo' sho'.
#5. I met my now fiance at a
bar. Huh.. Didn't see that one coming... ;)
So, there are five things about me you probably didn't know. ;)

(Page 1)1. Way I got it, Al, was, she was introduced by her girl friend after making a favorable comment during a rare sighting in dim light. Where else is she going to meet a geek that works nights and afternoons at home and hangs out with TEKEs?
