Post by thread:[OT] PICList on Facebook?

Hi List, Are there really only 3 people from PICList on Facebook? I just joined Facebook to keep in touch with a friend from college, and noticed that the PicList group has only three members (myself included). Also, why does the name of the group's creator (Guillermo Leyendeker) does not ring a bell? :) Vitaliy

Whoop de do. I joined. Now what? (I haven't been very impressed with the functionality of "groups" on facebook (or any other Social Networking Site for that matter.)) > Also, why does the name of the group's creator (Guillermo > Leyendeker) does > not ring a bell? :) Why would the name someone uses on facebook match the name they use on PICList, even supposing that either one is anywhere close to a real name?

Hmmm, facebook rules do need that you use real name... :) of course you can use something else and it will hardly be noticed! Dario

They also need your birthday and some other personal data which I never give them the real one -- too much afraid of social engineering... Tamas

I believe Vitaliy means that he doesn't even remember seeing Guillermo here on the mailing list. BAJ

When sites like this ask for my real birthday, I tweak it a bit. They're not going to know the difference, but it's not going to match what's on my "official" documents. Besides, who wants to admit their real age on one of these things. ;-) Jeff -- "Take heart amid the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese" - Deteriorata - National Lampoon

He had his British name till they moved to Hungary where they did not accept an English first name when they got the citizenship, so he changed his name to something else. When they moved to Spain for a while he was using the Spanish version of his English name. Back to the UK he started to use his English name in its original form again. Now he lives again in Hungary but kept his British citizenship so he did not had to change his name, however, it was a huge fight in between the Hungarian government where they did not want to understand that his name now is not the one that he was using many years ago but the English one...

Maybe, however, the founder of that group likes Microchip's logo as the main PICture :-) On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 6:35 PM, Marechiare <@spam@marechiareKILLspamgmail.com> wrote: > > I believe Vitaliy means that he doesn't even remember > > seeing Guillermo here on the mailing list. > > And what's special about that?
