When you think of ILX do you immediately think of a particular geographical location?

....despite the fact we're all scattered round the world?

I must admit I tend to associate it with London.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 25 September 2004 10:37 (twenty-one years ago)

A line running through the globe from New York - London - Dunedin, and back again.

I think London - because of the many personal meetings, London ILXers loom larger in my thoughts than those from elsewhere, with the odd special exception: but of the 50 or so ILXers who matter most to me (no, I don't have a list), at least 90% are Londoners.

Also of course it was started by a Londoner, and Freaky Trigger is centred here, and I'm here.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 25 September 2004 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I associate it with the UK, and with London in particular too. That's because you Britons are only a couple of time zones away from me, so I'm more likely to meet you here than the Yanks.

ILX is truly global, but I guess British foremost.

not any more

mogadishu

If you live near one of these states, you can always hook up with a group that is going over there to campaign. I think I may do this in Wisconsin, possibly Missouri.

My Narnia map vanished. Darn.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 26 September 2004 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

When I think of ILX, I tend to think... yeh, of those woods -- to south-east of the road between Põlva and Võru, towards the general direction of Russland -- in which I've never roamed, actually. (Yes, I'm somewhat suprised myself)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 26 September 2004 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't really have a place in mind when i think of ilx.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Sunday, 26 September 2004 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

(well i lied too ...just a little bit)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 26 September 2004 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah london a little bit...

― robin (robin), Sunday, 26 September 2004 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Ormskirk, mostly.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 26 September 2004 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Glasgow, of course.

― Cathy (Cathy), Sunday, 26 September 2004 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

A sterile overheated server room full of whirring fans, somwhere in Melbourne's CBD (probably).

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 27 September 2004 06:40 (twenty-one years ago)

That bit of the Glasshouse Stores round by the bar billiards table.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 27 September 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

call me weird or something, but it's in this little box at Andrew's place.

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 27 September 2004 12:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Except the box isnt at his house! :D its colocated in a server facility (hence my post above, hehe)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

ILX exists in each and every computer.

(The Quaker interpretation)

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm THE ILQUAKER! Seriously! (Are there any others?)

― {Sand in the [vaseline} on the lens] (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:59 (twenty-one years ago)

You're no Friend of mine.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Ohh.. man...

― {Sand in the [vaseline} on the lens] (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I think its cool you were (are?) a quaker Jer - I saw a doco on Compass (a show abt religions) some time ago and was quite intriguied! It seemed like taoism, only christian. Or something. Is that right?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Jer, I'm sort of an ILQUAKER

― Free the Bee (ex machina), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:32 (twenty-one years ago)

mostly were. parents are, but I'm scarecly quakering now. It's practiced mostly in the US as a non-denominational sect though it's officially Christian. This link describes in a little more detail: the effectively multi-denominational bent of the organization.

Jon, aren't noise dudes and quakers sworn enemies? Just imagine Lee C1asp3r-T0rch's face hearing Wolf Eyes during a meeting!

― {Sand in the [vaseline} on the lens] (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I went to a Quaker school from K-12, so I've attended many a Quaker meetings.

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

what school?

― {Sand in the [vaseline} on the lens] (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:42 (twenty-one years ago)

hmm...

should I divulge personal information moment on ILX.

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Why, do I know you?

― {Sand in the [vaseline} on the lens] (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know. Probably not.

Anyways, it's in D.C.

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:50 (twenty-one years ago)

You're Chelsea Clinton, I knew it!

― {Sand in the [vaseline} on the lens] (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Shhh! Shut up!

I'm so sick of this shit!

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 04:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm very close to the location of the box.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 04:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha... I actually think of it as being located back in Boston, since that's where I began posting regularly.

― {Sand in the [vaseline} on the lens] (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 04:06 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a covert op to compromise ILX.

Stop him before he gets to the box!

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 04:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I've thrown up some razor wire, starving bears, and bombs with wires of tremendous chromatic diversity attached to the fuse.

― {Sand in the [vaseline} on the lens] (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 04:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Chromatic diversity? You'll be using your psionic powers next.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 04:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Boy this thread got weird all of a sudden.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 05:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyway, I usually associate ILX, geographically, with either Australia, New Zealand, California, NYC, or London. All places that are VERY, VERY FAR AWAY from me. Um, like I mentioned once or twice before. ;)

(But seriously, no fear of repercussion!! Damn, need to be more fun.)
