Greetings, noder of the future! I am speaking to you from the distant past, in fact the month of May, which is for you but a vague memory. I apologise for intruding upon the space designated for what we in my time call your daylog, although this term may have fallen out of currency in the long months since I wrote this.

In any case, I add this message only in the hope that somebody will see it, and perhaps grant the following simple request: simply to type the below message into the chatterbox, and press "talk":

/tell ryano It's July 27th, 2001, your third Everything birthday!

Of course, I cannot predict where I will be when you read this, but I hope that the months will have been kind to me, and I will receive your message, and be capable of replying with my thanks.
