You're prettymuch guarunteed to get me. Except I found an exclusion! http://jetew.com/images/fdjustin.jpg I must be getting popular if people are swiping my name. Soon, you'll see DaRkFDJusTin18 popping up on places like youtube, and people will be like 'Ugh, look, it's another FDJtard!"
That jesting aside, I was actually doing a search to see if the twitter name FDJustin was being used by someone actively, or if I signed up for it in the past and used a fake email because I forgot about it. I didn't find anything on it, but of the 2k+ results, I did see my name show up a lot in a very interesting way.
You see, I used to use BOINC for datafolding. So there are a lot more random data pages out there I wasn't expecting that probably don't link back to my website, but they do mention my screen name, the points I got, and the processor and operating system I was using. (I haven't done folding in a while since I switched to a laptop... It gets too hot.)
... For hanging out to read the weird post, I'll share something potentially valuable. I didn't just do this at random, there was a business sense behind it.
Not only did I get to donate cycles to neat causes (from predicting weather in the far future, to doing protein research for medicine, to mapping out every single move that can possibly be made in chess ever.) but I was planning to use that fact for public relations, as a means to get my community involved in something a little different (you can set up teams) and for backlinks. The links may not be very valuable, but each of the sites tends to have a place to put a link to your site, a bio for your team, and stuff like that.
