Welcome to Ad Hoc

This site serves as the "Life Stream" for David Pappas. That's a new expression and means different things to different people. To me, it means that this site delivers a single stream of content drawn from all of the places I frequent on the web. I am a card carrying member of the tin foil hat club and don't trust what I can't hold. So now, anytime I:

  1. provide a status update on a social networking site
  2. post a picture on a photo site
  3. save a link on a link list
  4. store a video on a video sharing site
  5. listen to online music
  6. RSVP an event
It will also appear here. Nothing too magical about that. I have also archived content which I have posted through the years on a variety of hobby sites. You'll not find that content elsewhere - only here. I will also be re-purposing the content which I have posted elsewhere in to logical groups here. The 'value add' is that the bits and pieces that have been scattered across the web can be brought in to cohesive sets here. That's not something I can do on any one of these commercial sites.

At it's worst, this is self-indulgent. At best, you should consider it a recommendation system - if your interests line up with mine you hopefully will see music, links, pictures, videos and short thoughts which you find interesting. While I hope that's the case, I am not deliberating delivering this content for you. This is about me, and hopefully you - not the other way around. Sorry.
