November Shout Out! How did you come up with that funky user name?

[spikeZ]

hmmm, r937..... Rudy + time of signing up to his first forum....

[spikeZ]

...or 9.37 was the time first period ended when Rudy was in school - I think that is when they had to polish the slates clean.....

or he might just like the number?!

[conradical]

He could have been a secret agent tracking down space cow boy kung fu robots and that was his code name r937.

[Jake Arkinstall]

Space cow boy kung foo robots?

I thought they did Taekwondo

[ashok7067]

my name with the last numbers of my mobile

[bloodofeve]

Mine came about when I was studying "A' Level Biology way back in 1980.
I was very interested in Genetics and how we get our inherited looks etc, I had read about some thing called the "Eve Gene" being highly inquisitive I managed to find a paper on the subject where some geneticists had located a single gene from a woman in Africa that links all of humanity. So I came up with the name Blood of Eve as we all have a bit of her genetics in us. Some people imagine I'm a Goth and other assume it's to do with my Jewish heritage - they are usually really surprised when I explain the reason - Yes I know it's real deep!

Swedish metal rocks

I prefer Norwegian metal.

I always thought your username was some sort of programming thing: var + else. Confused me somewhat since you were graphics guru!

Me too, I thought it was just that.

r stands for Rudy, 937 for his age

Hahahaha.

Me pretty boring, my name is Ben Partch, you can figure it out from here I bet.

[rypher21]

I'm a hyperactive person so I get my username to that word combined with the first letter of my name + my fave number...

[EvcRo]

my username is in fact made of my initials and also RO from my country

[susanqy]

I have olny a name which is marked the high school teacher,In addition, I do not want to use a lot of names, so it is difficult to remember

[cessvergara]

simply because my name is princess, i made it short, my nickname is cess and then i used my lastname...and in short "cessvergara" came from princess vergara, which is my fullname..

[nishagun]

Your name is Princess or are you a Princess (like, for real)?

[Stomme poes]

Swedish metal rocks

I prefer Norwegian metal.

I rather like Finnish metal when coding: Sonata Arctica, Turisas, Korpiklaani... though I also like Finnish surf music like Laika and the Cosmonauts... those wacky Finns, making good music. I had to get used to joiking though-- sounded like Native Americans.

Amon Amarth might be the only Swedish band I've listened to recently...

------
A stomme poes is a stupid cat. Not a smart cat, but a dumb one. Like ours.

Our cat will tilt its head sideways and puff up into a huge ball and dance sideways, usually into a door or the wall. It whines and waits all day for food, but runs to the bowl when you come downstairs... where it discovers that it actually had food all night long.

No, not dementia, it's always been this way. A chronic case of stupid.

Which is how I felt when I started this HTML and CSS stuff. I now use Stomme Poes for pretty much anything web-wise, though earlier I used names I grew fond of when studying zoology (now they're passwords in various forms) and I had at least one radiological nick when I was taking xrays and doing cat scans. Yesh, they are still taken Axially, so yesh, they are still CAT scans-- I think folks just didn't want to tell someone's Grandma they she was going to have a PET-CAT scan, so they shortened it to make it look more professional.
Next thing you know they'll be calling it a PT scan. Bleh.

[Outer Orbit]

Well Datura and Bittersweet were already taken and I forgot to check for nightshade. Can't remember how Outer Orbit can possibly be related. Impotent Potato didn't seem right somehow.


Music for coding

Not quite metal but A VOI VOI karelian fever by Myllarit is my album of choice at the moment. It's just knocked Kreator's Extreme Aggression and even Skeletal Family off the top.

[Jake Arkinstall]

If I listen to music when programming and I want to concentrate, I listen to classical music, I'm talking moonlight sonata and ave maria.

In school I am taking on alot of extra work, and I use my free time studying. When I really want to concentrate, I stick Ave Maria on repeat on my iPod, and listen to about 2 cycles of it with my eyes closed. I then get on with some work, and (because of the soft tones and repetition) it really helps me to concentrate, especially in a not-so-quiet environment.

[Stomme poes]

Funny, I was listening to some music while reading about CSS, and so now Asrai (a band I'm otherwise not terribly fond of) has a few songs that always, always make me think of CSS. Once, I listened almost exclusively to a new CD by Aterciopelados while reading Fast Food Nation--- now that music always makes me think of food regulations, marketing fat cats and dumpster research, lawlz.
I can't listen to classical music while I code. It makes my mind drift off.

A VOI VOI karelian fever by Myllarit

Karelia... So either Finnish or Russian? I'll take a listen on teh Youtube (bout the only thing YT is good for, finding new music).

...And even though Christmas isn't voorbij yet, I think I'm going to replace my sig with Tommy's exclamation that he doesn't want to be an autistic cuckoo : ) That line is Lawlz.
