I decided to bring this place back.

Back in the AOL/AIM era I was known as seven. I started out building little utilities for myself, then for friends, and pretty quickly people wanted more. I wrote punters, booters, crackers—the whole toolkit for AOL/AIM— and that's how I ended up getting known in those circles.
