Where'd you get your handle from?

Aliantha • Jan 30, 2006 11:06 pm
I'll start off by telling you about mine. Some of you have probably already figured it out if you read the entertainment thread. I'm a fan of a particular fantasy novel series, and there's a berry in them that's called "Aliantha". That's were I got my handle from.

Kozmique • Feb 9, 2006 5:37 pm
I was trying to think of a name that summed up something about me. I'd been listening heavily to "I Got Dem Ol Kozmic Blues Again Mama" around then, and I'm a Pisces. So I chose KozmikFishGirl which is weird for me because I usually hate when things are misspelled, but it worked for me. But people have weird associations with fish and I got a lot of bizarre comments. Then I had a baby and didn't feel like a girl anymore. So I shortened it to Kozmique.
dar512 • Sep 28, 2009 10:43 am
I think I have mentioned this elsewhere, but for SG ... :D

My handle is my initials plus 512. 512 being a power of two. It's less important/useful now, but when I first started programming you had to be familiar with the powers of 2 up through 2^16.

Still, it was started by Ali and I posted an honest, if brief response in it, so we give it gravitas.

Kind of sounds familiar. Is it the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant you're refering to?

Me...

I'd change it if I could, but no point in doing so now. It serves as a reminder how things were about three years ago - I really felt like I was going mad - family issues, extended family issues, etc...

There's a lot of drama in my extended family. We (my wife and I) rarely get involved anymore (although they'd love for us to "solve their problems" again). We learned they'd just take advantage of us and then dump on us later anyway. Sad to say, but our own grown kids did a number on us too.

The other part of it is my sense of humor. It's a little off the norm. :nuts:
