What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.
I've been known as scruss for more than forty years.
I was one of the f(o)unding members of Demon Internet in the UK. No, I never had shares in it.
I used to write for a bunch of computer magazines.
I've also typeset and managed many dictionary projects.
Yes, I really did design and (occasionally) operate windfarms. They don't just happen by themselves.
(employer redacted because flux)
I also have the craptastic learning-myself-GIS blog glaikit.org. And I know How to make Tablet, a traditional Scottish sweet.
My radio callsign is VA3PID. I got my Basic+HF license after reading Devonian's post.
I play banjo.
And yes, the hair's real and natural.
