Spod
Well, I thought these should get their own separate page seeing as they've been a major part of my life since about 1994. Sad though it may be to admit it, I am a spod, I talk to people over the Internet. So sue me.
Talkers
Well, in 1994 I was introduced to a free way to communicate with people across the globe in real time and more importantly, it was anonymous as well, making it even more addictive.

My favourite talkers of the moment are:

  • Surfers - The original and still my favourite. Homepage here.
  • Tombstone - The talker I co-own and run. Homepage here.
  • Pleasuredome - One of my all time favourites. Been here a while as well.
  • Cut - Been here a while too. It's run (and mainly populated) by a London contingent.
  • The Cult - A relatively new talker but with a nice roleplaying element thrown in.
  • The Grange - Again, one of those talkers that I've been on for aaaages.
  • Caves - Run by the enigmatic Balloon.
  • DotUK - Another oldie, but sadly pretty vacant atm.
  • Jyhad - A very new talker, and with a vampiric feel to it.
  • Pirates - A small talker that never really got off the ground.
Oh btw, I can be found on all these talkers under the name of 'Jackal'.
I even count some of the people I know as friends

A more comprehensive list of talkers can be found on the following 'Talker Lists':

IRC
Irc has been the relatively new one. It's along the same lines as talkers except you need to download software to use IRC and the IRC interface is very basic when compared with Talkers.

However, you can sometimes find me on the following channels under the name of 'Parricide' or 'Alexander':

  • #Gothic on EFNET
  • #Darkwave on EFNET
  • #Gothic on CYNET
