If you've come across this information you must be truly desperate.
Ok, no seriously now.
I moved to Davis in 1992 after going to junior college in Bakersfield for all too many years. I transferred to UCD into the English department but in the midst of my journey there discovered this wonderful thing called the Internet and got lost on IRC. I can actually blame it all on the IRC channel #jeopardy and alexbot, a creation of a UCD Computer Science PhD. grad student Kendrick Mock. I basically lived on #jeopardy day and night and learned all the answers (and questions, in that order) - me and a bunch of other folks who never left the channel. Long story short I flunked out of UCD - twice - and though I made a couple aborted attempts to take summer classes after that to see if I could muster up the grades to come back to college, I ultimately left UCD for good, never to return - though I stayed in Davis for a few years after my time at the university was over.
If there was one positive upside to the whole experience I landed in the technology business thanks to the many hours/days/weeks/months of my life I wasted on the Internet and learned things about the plumbing of the Internet pipes. Worked in tech. support at a small ISP in Davis called mother.com for a few years and somehow managed to meet the lovely woman who would become my wife there. Ok so meeting your future wife was also another BIG positive upside to having landed in the tech business.
Moved away from Davis around 1997 to midtown Sacramento where two young couples were attacked with knives and killed within 2 weeks and within 2 blocks of where I had moved to around 14th and Q streets. Thankfully they caught the psycho soon after though.
Lived in midtown Sac for a bit, tried buying a small condo there around 1998-99 but that fell through so moved south to Elk Grove where I worked in IT for a small family-owned trucking company, first as help desk/desktop support then as the sysadmin. Ended up moving to where my wife's family was at the time - the small town of Winters, about 20 minutes west of Davis - and bought a home and lived there for over 10 years through various employers, layoffs (the Dotcom v1.0 bubble burst was not kind, nor was the crash in 2008-2009), and moved to the North Bay for about 4 years for employment then back toward the Sacramento area and Vacaville/Fairfield, where I am now.
Lots of ups and downs and changes but still married to the same lovely woman whom I've had 4 amazing daughters with. Working as an independent IT contractor now, perhaps as an inevitable product of my age in this business - and also having been ousted from my last "comfortable" FT IT position. If you're not an executive or director by my age your viability changes dramatically as you get older in this business.
I have many fond memories of my years in Davis. I met my first adult friends there - all through the typically geeky mechanisms like local dialup BBSes (remember those?) like The Compass Rose and what was called Purgatory and later IRIS. I even lived in the same apartment with the IRIS BBS hardware. My first experiences being an "adult" (such as it was) living off campus with a roommate and having to pay bills, buy groceries... all the normal mundane trappings of adulthood. Stayed up all night NetDOOMing at a terrible house on L street that couldn't power more than 3 computers simultaneously. Went to many picnics, pizza parties and get-togethers with fellow BBS nerds. Not sure if that's better than the typical carousing of young adults like bar-hopping and clubbing (and yes we DID do a bit of drinking here and there, but not that much - most of our gatherings were Mountain Dew-fueled). Did make a few tight friendships along the way and am incredibly grateful for those that I knew once upon a time in Davis.
