anyone think i should provoke Ian into relaying forum inquiries to the new one?
im thinking something like i file a helpdesk ticket on the onewheel page

Plz no D:
Talk about kicking the hornets nest lol.

fine... ill go back to stalking.

NotSure

@lia possible lead

onemain financial branch office in Antelope, CA. that's a significant correlation but not definitive enough to call the branch n ask weird questions under a pseudonym.

... who's next?!

Lia

@notsure Could be a lead, not sure OneDan+ is there though as I don't see anyone in management being called Dan.

@lia im just correlating based upon the limited data ive been given to determine his identity, and then potential means of contact. his first name, age range, general location, proximity to a documented location, a documented personal interest, and his chosen moniker.

if i were to go ape shit with it, i would assemble a list of potential identities and cross correlate between them. research is research. the stalkery vibe isnt exactly my taste.

currently im debugging this blasted kivy app im making. its super easy to use until u want to do something custom. then it gets a little abstract... driving me nuts.

Lia

@notsure Appreciate the effort going into it. Tbh I'm both surprised and thankful how many of us we've managed to get back.

Best of luck with the app. Stuff like that is magic to me.

magic huh? im just doing what ur doing with those pints of urs except with information instead of matter. ur willingness to endure endless hours of tinkering would lend itself well to programming.

and let us not forget the fully operational nodebb forum u cooked up in a week... im not sure i could do that unless its really cookie cutter. they must have a good computer lab in the Amazon.

Lia

@notsure That's re-reassuring. Gives me hope for the python work I'll be doing for the archive. Still I have an immeasurable respect for anyone that can code~

Assuming you choose one of the more developed on distros NodeBB installs and sets up quite easily with decent instructions to go along. Tried on FreeBSD first and barely got that to load D:

so this is a weird one. haven't actually been able to isolate the page with this text...

what's the likeliness u all figure that OneDan is a podcaster lol?

Dan Henry in Sacramento... high school grad... businessman... onewheeler... podcaster?

Lia

Welcome back @Sirgu :)

Sirgu

@lia Hey all! Thanks for having me!
Almost feels like heart can start beat normal again after near death experience.

Lia

@sirgu Happy to have you back :)
Hope you're okay too, near death experiences are no good.

Sirgu

@lia yea .. maybe a comparision from harsh field indeed. Sry!

I`m okay now. As faith to (usage of) forums restored.
~~.. pretty much okay, despite the C19 caught me in meanwhile ..~~

Lia

@sirgu Good to hear you got through it.
Haven't had C19 myself but heard from a lot of friends and people from work that's it can be brutal.

Lia

@notsure That's a possible lead.
OneDan snowboards so maybe that helps narrow it down.

NotSure

@lia i gave it a go. unfortunately that attribute is rather common in that area. if he happened to mention another nearby location then i think i could get him. he once mentioned a park he would ride when he first started onewheeling but thats a bit vague as well. ive been trying to find cached forum posts where he might have mentioned another nearby landmark beside the sacramento river bikeway. thats a linear feature, not a point-like, so the surface area remains large although u could feasibly limit the depth of that area to the onewheel range. that also assumes he doesnt drive to those poi.

Lia

@notsure That's a shame, thanks for giving it a go.
I'd like to imagine he'll find us when we go more public or will pop up on another platform.
