WTF is Linda Lane?
No, my name is not Linda Lane. However, the real Linda Lane did call me about two weeks after I purchased lindalane.com asking me to donate it to her because it was her real name. As you can guess, I didn’t. Sorry Linda.
When I first decided to get into server oriented hardware and software, I ran a PowerMac 8600/250 off of a dual ISDN connection to the internet provider I worked for at the time, Datatone (would love to know what happened to them). Anyway, I needed to pick a domain name, and couldn’t think of one, so I decided to pick a name that was indicative of the server and my location, Linda Lane. I was renting my grandmother’s house from my parents, and its address was 1 Linda Lane. On top of it being my physical location, I was also doing freelancing, and thought that a business card that reflected my physical and virtual addresses would be quite neat:

Hi Jay,
Thank you for letting me know you got my voice mail. Glad you are enjoying my name so much.
If you ever decide to give up the domain, I'd appreciate it, if you'd give me rights of first refusal.
Best regards,
The Real Linda Lane

Dear J,
I am the REAL LINDA LANE that contacted you two weeks after you started your website. I actually had gone to register my name, saw that it was available and proceeded to get my web designers to get to work only to find out that you had registered it.
So, my dear. . . if the time comes that you care to change your web name. I would love to have lindalane.com back.
For now, take care,
Linda Lane

Is anyone real?

I know the real Linda Lane, at least the one in Tucson AZ! Check out my own site, at echoesoftheheart.com. Some nice art there besides my own, and poetry too.
