Greetings everyone, all three of us at the time I write this.
I am a writer and a web designer. I started blogging moons ago and started webesign even many more moons ago.
I can be found at http://strixy.com or http://broadcastthis.com
For fans of fantasy or sci-fi I have a wiki hosting a living novel which can be found at http://broadcastthis.com/wiki - feel free to start writing in the universe of Avatar Stultus.
I love to write and have recently finished compiling a collection of short stories. They are all contemporary fiction written in the first person. I am hoping to get some feedback on a few of them and provide some feedback in turn.
I have 8 years of University (Calgary) and college (MRC). This includes a background in geography, chemistry, philosophy and English.
My wife and I are also avid rock climbers. We live in the Glendale area (Calgary SW).
Nice to meet everyone.

I should also mention that I am fantastic at building and repairing computers. I am also a huge fan of Linux (which I use as my daily desktop) and the Open Office wordprocessor (I write everything in OO).

Welcome fellow writer, web designer and Linux enthusiast! 
Yep, just the three of us right now, but I expect membership will grow in time as I have time to get more ads and notices around. We're off to a pretty good start if I do say so myself. LOL Not bad seeing as how I only started the whole club and everthing maybe a month ago at most.
I'm simply an amateur web designer, but a huge Linux supporter. Fedora is my OS of choice. And I absolutely swear by Open Office.  Way better than MS Word, Excel, etc. in my opinion.
Wow! You certainly do have very diverse interests. University, rock climbing, computers, etc. I'm impressed.
I'm looking forward to reading some of your short stories. You mentioned they're all contemporary fiction. By this do you mean mystery, suspense, or more of a mainstream?
Nice to meet you too.

I'm more main stream I suppose. I haven't ever tried to write a mystery, as I don't enjoy reading that paticular genre as much as others.
I am a big fan of the Ubuntu OS (Linux) - especially the Kubuntu release as I love K Desktop more than Gnome (preference only, I think they're both great).
I've forwarded this site to some friends who write and are also in the Calgary area. We'll see when and if they turn up.
