I don't even know who I am 
People are used to talk about allegro conventions that unfortunately are too hard to organise. I am curious about who the people around here are. For 95 % of them I would say I only know them by nickname.
The interest for an allegro convention shows that people are also interested in the people behind the nicknames. I know there are lots of you who love it to stay anonymous, and it is your good right to do that, but for the rest it would be interesting if you could post some pictures of you and your city you live in. I will do that as well when I get my new data cable for my digi cam.
edit: While waiting for your posts: I can't figure out why that doesn't work!

Resizing a real pic is a good idea...

Aye, and my name is Jacob...

Home alone? What the hell do you look like when your parents are around? Scary thoughts.
My pic is in my profile too, the freakish head growing out of my neck is the cat, that was taken a year ago though, I've since ditched the goatee and had some hair issues (the hair has grown back though, except on my chin 
)
Is this a lame attempt to get the girls of a.cc to post even more pics of themselves?

No. But the idea isn't bad, indeed.

That is what everyone thinks. The more people post their pictures the easier it will be to post yours.

I can imagine that would be real scary.

You may want to check if it failed.
Trezker, don't you feel hot in summer?
]]>I don't know if I should, it might provoke peadofiles

Attached is a picture of how it looks like if I look out my window. The second part from the left stands out for some reason becasue I didn't bother to correct the colour balance...
]]>Iowa kind of looks like that. Wait, no... no it doesn't.
Looks like quite a hobbit-land.
]]>Trezker, don't you feel hot in summer?
I get very hot in the summer, but it has nothing to do with my hair.
The head is actually my coolest part...

I would be worried in your place. According to Discovery the head is supposed to be the hottest part. Maybe there's something wrong with you. Perhaps you're brain dead.

Brilliant product placement, SonShadowCat. Maybe that can be your new job..

HoHo is a Tiki god?
Whats with all of you and your balding hair o.o?

That drawing Looks more native american than hispanic.

Why would it have to look hispanic? HoHo is Estonian.

It looks more like a drawing of SSC to me.

That's me today, it's been hot and windy so my hair is all screwed up (not that it isn't anyway). However I do not have balding spots anymore ... well excluding my chin
Wheres the black cat on your shoulder, you need the black cat!
]]>He was a kitten before, now he's all grown up, and lazy. He's sleeping on the floor at the moment

Actually I think your picture reminds me more than the one I drew myself
And no, I'm not a Tiki god(unfortunately). I'm a native Estonian.

Speaking of cats..

We call him `poot'.
He's currently cowering under the bed.
I'll call him adorable.
]]>My cat would just beat him up... but he's evil like that
Actually, heh, poot is a playtoy for this guy ("nemo"). We have since given him another nick name, this time perhaps more suitable: rat face.
I take back my words — Steve Terry, your eyes are so pretty! Nothing scary there.
This thread is something of a shock. I guess I really have been thinking of people as their avatars.
]]>What happened to the hair?
Casualty of the job. I miss my hair... sniff. At least my hairline isn't receding!

This is my home town Loviisa. A red circle marks my house. (Went out in the neighbourhood, painted the circle, logged into Google, took the picture, went out and washed the paint away. Phew!).
Attached is an image inside my nice red wooden house built 1930. My kid plays Game Boy in the kitchen.

Heh, those photos from Uruguay were not taken by me but by a friend of mine (I am the one with the Intel Inside T-Shirt)
I was making a pseudo-goth pose you insensitive clods.

How convenient, you don't live too far away from Toronto... Plus Manjula goes to Kitchener quite often!
you can see a picture of my self in my profile. Its the most recent as I keep breaking cameras when they are pointed at me. That and mirrors.

I'm to the right. To left is my little brother. The picture was taken about a month ago when me, my brother and some of my friends took a trip around Estonia and Latvia.
