Oh, when we were young! Ok, when I was young. This is a professional headshot at the beginning of my public speaking, advocacy, authoring, and publishing career which began in 1999 for Web. My first major talk was that year, on HTML 4.1 to 200 people. Yes, it was that long ago!

And I'm fairly sure that when I first knew you on here, it was more than half way from now to then! (Not 100% sure, since I can't remember properly which year.)

Well I go back to 2006. On Twitter at least and under a different name mollydotcom my account was hacked it's not used and @TwitterSupport won't give it back to me and they won't verify me either despite my face being on their homepage for several years. It would be nice of them.

I joined in 2008, but I can't remember when I started following you. Probably no later than 2010. You were mollydotcom, then when I came back after being away from 2013–2019 you'd changed to this one. I think that's right, anyway.

Yep that's about the time the @mollydotcom accounts got hacked and nobody did anything and I just gave up and said screw it and started a new thread I was amongst the first thousand probably the first 500 users frustrating indeed. I guess they forgot the little people.

Why won't they verify you? That seems strange.

Women are verified far less than the men. I don't know if that's why but it is also a fact that Wikipedia suffers this issue as well. It's disturbing because women were originally a force in computer science. Few women on stage or public in my generation much less ethnic ones.
