kisrael Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Always a fun ego-boosting kind of thread. My name is first initial plus last name, which was the Canonical Unix Username Formulation in the early 90s when I started to get online at school. I liked mine though because you could pronounce it, even if people think it has something to do with the middle east thanks to my last name. Now I usually go by "kirkjerk", which is just a nick I started using on "Death Rally" games at a previous company. Some people think it's a self-fufilling prophecy, but hey. Al once offered to let me switch to kirkjerk here, but whatever. http://kisrael.com is my personal website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airforcejane Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I was going to choose something atari related, but I decided to use the user name I've been using since freshman year in high school. I meant airforcejane to be the feminine of airforcejoe. Airforcejoe was a boyfriend from high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobZu7zu7 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 My user name came from my not-often looked at website, Atari 2600 Land. It's at www.atari2600land.com, so the URL is easy to remember. I know this is a shameless plug, but, hey, you asked... Hey, man I actually found your website before I met you at Atari age. :!: Good site, keep working on your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) I've actually been using "basscadet" most everywhere since about the mid-90's, but I've found that most people don't get the reference and will in fact embarrassingly mis-pronounce it, getting neither the reference *nor* the pun (they'll say "bass" as in the fish - like I'm some sort of fish cadet). So now I usually split between "spacecadet" and "badasscat" depending on the site - both grew out of "basscadet". "badasscat" was actually another misinterpretation one of my friends made of "basscadet" - he was looking for me on AIM and asked me "what are you again? badasscat?" And I liked it better so I started using it. I use "spacecadet" on sites where I'm not sure if they'll accept a username with "badass" as part of the name. As for "basscadet", it's actually the name of a song by the electronic group Autechre. A little too obscure for most people, I guess.

+FujiSkunk Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I like skunks. I also like the idea of working on something covertly, with no-one having any idea what's going on until it's finally time to pull back the curtain and astonish the world! The spelling wasn't actually any attempt to be cool, it's just that skunkworx.org was the only phonetic spelling of "skunk-works" still available in the .net, .org and .com universe that hadn't already been snatched up. So, I snatched it up. The rest is infamy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Propane13 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 13 is my favorite number. It follows me around randomly; I used to see the number every day in a random occurrence. My original username was Propanelllo, because I just took 2 random objects and stuck them together, propane and jello, and then added an extra L for originality. Eventually, I removed the extra L, and then finally, I shortened the whole thing cuz it was just easier to explain online. No one questions something odd like "Propane", but everybody questions Propanelllo. So, I'm not quite sure how I got to where I am; it has absolutely nothing to do with my likes or dislikes-- just a random thing that sorta stuck. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kisrael Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I forget what my username stands for. Wasn't there a french gal named Theresa (or Tes) who wrote a book called "Undo It", which sounds a bit like "un deux huit" in french, or "1 2 8"? That's probably what it means.

"Jaguar 128-byte: Do the Math!" Hmmm. Kirk might be on to something. I need to get the memory back from those six months of my life - they certainly could have been glorious . Certainly explains the scars And to think my theory was that it had something to do with my collection of Byte Magazines from 1983 - couldn't be. Maybe that Route 128 traffic was really bad when I traveled to Bedford to program an obscure program (I'm sure none of you have heard of it, so sorry for the tangent) called "Ms. Pac Man" for GCC - and I said, in a fit of bad punning brought on by gridlock, "128 bytes!". Could have been, if I wasn't in high school at the time.. I better keep thinking. @jbanes - just the thought of Beowulf clusters of Jags is making me :ROTFL: Though that laughter is counteracted by my realization that I am familiar with Beowulf clusters confirms the depth of my geekiness Edited November 14, 2006 by 128bytes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 BigO is an old nickname. Bestowed upon me by others. Really, it was. ...okay, so it's not really a sordid story. O is the initial of my last name and I got the nickname long before I ever heard of that other meaning of the term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
