Are you Simon Hammond?

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Does the name ‘Simon Hammond‘ have a very personal significance for you?

Right up until the moment you typed it into Google did you fondly imagine that it was an almost unique thing? Do you sometimes wish you had control of simonhammond.com, simonhammond.co.uk or simonhammond.net? Does it kinda freak you out seeing your name bandied about like this?

I manage both simonhammond.net and simonhammond.com, which is maybe a bit superfluous. So, here’s the deal: if enough are interested to make the effort worthwhile, I’d be ready to turn simonhammond.net over to the entire community(?) of Simon Hammond’s as a hub of some kind — whatever you want (e.g. profiles, mail/web redirects, blog). I have the ability and the crazy inclination. Dave Gorman is probably partly to blame here.

The idea of setting up a virtual group for strangers with nothing more in common than the name with which they identify themselves deeply appeals to me. If you’d also get a kick out of joining one of the most exclusive groups on the Net, and optionally want to be easier to find on the web, then identify yourself below. I may need to see some ID later.

(You might want to pick a nickname to avoid future ambiguity.)
