Hey Nick,
Quick question: I'm an entertainment/pop culture journalist, and I'm working on an article about the current day MUD scene.
I'm wondering if you're available for an interview sometime over the next couple of weeks. I'm interested in talking to you because a) you've been a part of the MUD/MUSH scene for a while (I've had a copy of MUSHClient on every computer I've owned since 1995!) but you're not tied to any particular game, and I think that might give you a unique perspective, and b) I know you've done a lot of work with games like Aardwolf to really flesh out what a MUD client can do, and make the interface more palatable for modern users.
If you're interested in talking, please drop me a line atredacted (I don't want to do it publically here). I can do either Skype or email; through voice chat, I don't think the interview will take more than half an hour.
Thanks for your time!
