Old interests resurrected

I've just found two websites that reminded me of old days.

The first is http://www.chesscube.com/ . About 6 years ago I was playing amateur chess. Me and a bunch of high school colleagues were playing non-stop. We were playing during breaks and during lectures. We would stay after classes just to finish a game.

Now, since I started playing on chess cube I've lost almost all games. I won two or three, but that was just luck. Or it was just the fact that the opponents were indeed weaker. than me It's interesting because the results of playing against hundreds of opponents from all over the world give you a pretty good hint about your real level.

The second website is http://forums.philosophyforums.com/ . I've just found it so I really don't have anything to say about it yet. But I can't wait to confront others and their convictions. At this point I think I've forgotten my own. It's a long time since i forgot why I named my blog "system addicted" and even longer time since I was reading Nietzsche and I was contesting reality as it appears to us. But I hope I'll remember.

Lost in multiple identities

I've lost myself in multiple identities.

I have 4 personal email accounts, 2 job email accounts, 1 school account (supposedly), 2 or 3 other accounts on lesser providers (I don't even remember these), I'm registered on at least 7 discussion boards, I've started a couple of websites (not worth mentioning) and I think I have another blog somewhere...

Then I have entertaining sites accounts (marvel, youtube, starwars, miniclip etc.), software developers sites accounts (microsoft, adobe, corel etc.), programming communities accounts (codeproject, gamasutra etc.), software and driver download sites accounts (too many).

Now, when I have to login on a website I have to go though an entire algorithm: do I already have an account?, what username?, what password?, what email address? And the amount of spam all this generates... whoah!!!

Sometimes it's driving me crazy and I'd like to reset my Internet presence to one identity. Just one!

But I can't...
