Hi, I'm Brian - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Hi, I'm Brian - I'm the site admin and tea-boy.

Buying a forum sounds nasty and corporate, but I just work from home as a full-time webmaster, running a small SEO company.

I already admin a few other well-established forums, and am currently developing a few others - and I plan to make Tech Watch a very successful site.

I'm 33, have 3 kids, and only came to the internet 5 years ago as an aspiring science fiction/fantasy writer looking to self-promote - I still haven't finished my writing, though, as I always seem to be working online.

Anyway, any questions, feel free to ask.

Yep, that's me - I'm usually known on forums as "I, Brian" - made about 500 posts at Digitapoint, but have a couple of thousand at places such as SitePoint and WebHostingTalk.

Hi, Brian,

I've always wanted a tea-boy of my very own. What have you got in single-estate Ceylons?

It's cool to hear you're a writer. I am too, both spec fic (SF/F/H) and non-fic. I don't think I could get by without the internet--or a laptop. Seems like I've spent the last year shlepping the 'puter around in my backpack and escaping the house to get my work done. At the house I mainly chase the cats when they get into things. And clean the sink. And make the bed again. And vacuum the cats. And re-alphabetize the CD collection.... Anyway. Can I ask after your works in progress?

I hope TechWatch fulfills all your aspirations. Best,

Niki

Hey, great to hear from you Nicole - always glad to meet another writer in the making.

I actually run a much larger SF/F forum, which not only has an active aspiring writers section, but we also have some traditional print published writers, a couple of editors, and a literary agent regularly posing on the forums. Here's the lin if it's useful to you:

http://www.chronicles-network.com/forum/

I don't have much online at present in terms of writing - still trying to hone and polish the craft.
