Introducing yourself at a conference

At conferences, I fully expect to meet people that I know online, but haven't met in person before.

The big problem for me is that I have trouble connecting the dots, so if we end up talking, please mention where I might know you from.

For example: "Hi, I'm John. You might know me as phpdude on the zftalk channel on freenode"

and I'll be able to place you correctly and may even remember you the next time I see you!

Also, it's not unusual for me to forget your name until I've met you a few times :)
