Yes, "rolling your own" is a satisfying learning opportunity if you have the skills, patience, money, space (resources) to make that happen. I would guess, however, that the community they have isn't a part of your I-am-an-island approach. I should know--I rarely interact with people as much as I do with a terminal session on any given day. Sounds like they are almost the social equivalent of a secular church, if you will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20054565.post-7550502047820142812010-08-29T13:09:50.704-07:002010-08-29T13:09:50.704-07:00An interview that was very pleasant to listen to. ...An interview that was very pleasant to listen to.

SDF is more then a shell account, it's a community of people who communicate with one another via the various methods that SDF provides (BBS, WEB, Email, IRC, to name a few). What makes SDF special is that it is run like a computing environment in the early days of the Internet. <BR/><BR/>Its not corporate at all. Its simply a place for people who like computing. <BR/><BR/>biff@sdf.lonestar.orgUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246999186883904757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20054565.post-86237201023403275382007-04-12T03:03:00.000-07:002007-04-12T03:03:00.000-07:00Lets see, the interview was about him and SDF.

One of the commentors wanted to know why they should trust Stephen/SDF. Well, I felt very wary the first time I joined, but as time went by, SDF has gained my trust. Never had a single problem or felt suspicious. Free shell account and a lot of goodies, to boot - what more could you ask for! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Give SDF a try! If you don't like it for whatever reason, you could always leave. You've got not much to lose.<BR/><BR/>Great job, Stephen/SMJ and SDF! Keep it up. You've got a lot of loyal and satisfied SDF users backing you up.<BR/><BR/>--A Happy SDF UserAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20054565.post-1141578129385081132006-03-05T09:02:00.000-08:002006-03-05T09:02:00.000-08:00At 8:52 AM, \ On The Streets of Philadelphia \ sai...At 8:52 AM, \ On The Streets of Philadelphia \ said...<BR/><BR/> Stephen:<BR/><BR/> 'Devon' said it for me: "I especially appreciate Stephen's anti-establishment, anti-corporate idealism; [...] attitude which I personally feel helps to fuel the "true spirit" of the Internet.

(Even if English is not my native language.)<BR/>It's interesting to hear about the history - the only thing I'm regretting is that I haven't come to SDF earlier than 2004.<BR/>Definitely a cool place for trying things out, for getting into touch with a lot of interesting people (not to mention the knowledge and idea base), and to have a "base in cyberspace" where one feels at home.

I listened at a friends house when he had gone out, when most normal people would be looking at porn.<BR/><BR/>No mention of the international facets of SDF though.<BR/><BR/>brendan@droogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20054565.post-1141383384039937262006-03-03T02:56:00.000-08:002006-03-03T02:56:00.000-08:00smj i love you....your anonymous admirersmj i love you....<BR/><BR/>your anonymous admirerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20054565.post-1141365580114757032006-03-02T21:59:00.000-08:002006-03-02T21:59:00.000-08:00Great interview.
