Where did you nickname come from?

[Leftyretro]

You never did say, were you a pitcher in HS? Being a lefty is a baseball plus

Yes, and I had nasty breaking stuff

Lefty

 

[OutToLunch]

played counterstrike during my lunch breaks - it also hinted to my skill at it

 

[ParkingLotLust]

I used to be in a band called Parking Lot Lust, hence the name.

 

[HiTech]

I work in the field of high technology, but I rather be a forestry logger with a real chainsaw or a deep woods cabin dweller with a wolf for my pet.

How come Microtexans username appears in bold on my machine and nobody elses does ?

Isn't he a mod for one of the hosted forums?

 

[Hero999]

I'm somewhat old and left-handed of course

Lefty

I thought it was political.

I don't know how I came up with my name. I use several names on the Internet, I've also used: Aloone, Ghostly Ghoul and Sockpuppet.

Mine too...

Could it have been a [ B ]microtexan[ / B ] at registration time?

Perhaps we may become enlightened by the man himself....

 

[House0Fwax]

I see it as bold too.

I've been House0Fwax for years (since I was on A.O.L.), it came from the 3-D
film from 1953 with Vincent Price (not the remake). Mr. Price is one of my favourites, and 3-D is a hobby.

 

[AllVol]

Mine shows support for my University of Tennessee Volunteers athletic teams, but the AD administration has gotten so money hungry lately I'm considering a radical change. (This is the year, isn't it?)

 

[spldart]

I used to compete in those SPL (sound pressure level) competitions that several major
sanctioning bodies put on around the world. USAC, IASCA, DB Drag. I completed with
an old Dodge Dart Sport with 8 18" Rockford Fosgate subwoofers and about 2.5KW of
power... Yes.. 2500 REAL watts rms. 6 Deep cycle marine batteries. Custom built alternator
and lots of 0 guage cable. Best SPL at windshield measured with LinearX and Coustic
db meters C weighted was 163.8 db. Been 9-10 years ago now though hehe. SPL-Dart
Top 10 in the nation my class for 3 years. USAC.

 

[Cry_Wolf]

Cry_Wolf is the name of the great movie i saw but i have no idea how i ended up making it my nick (use it quite often)

 

[CanonMan75]

My nickname came from my days working as a printer engineer. My favourite machines to work on were Canon laser printers... much nicer than those nasty Brothers and Kyoceras etc.

 

[killivolt]

When sparks fly.

Mine came from a Blue arc spark off my finger right into the laser. A 5 dish CD Player JVC in fact. It wasn't reading and thought it was the Laser.

Another tech still learning asked where is the laser ? so, I pointed.

Who new ?

It still maybe could have been a laser. But, we will never know.

The DVD Player worked after the Blue arc spark and was Charged by My Boss as Completed.

We ran this thing for a month with doubt. However, working and never herd of again.

Oddly enough my actual name is - KV

Cheers and a Spark.

 

[Roff]

My user name used to be Ron H. Another guy joined the forums with the user name RonH. I didn't want him to be embarrassed when I made stupid replies , so I asked the admin to change my user name to Roff.

Why Roff? When I worked at Micron, I spent a lot of time analyzing DRAM output driver characteristics, one of which was ON resistance, called Ron (pronounced R-on). Since my name is Ron, the guys started calling me R-on. Then someone called me R-off. Hence the new user name.

Now I am probably confused with Rolf, another member.

 

[duffy]

It's my own stupid name.

 

[Roff]

It's my own stupid name.

Last name (hopefully)?

 

[mramos1]

Creative lacking on my part I guess.

First initial and last name. Like JimB, picked it for account name for work many many years ago. I have been called Mr. Amos .

Still like to hear the monkeybiter story though.

 

[jbeng]

In my case, "jb" are my first and last initials, "eng" because I was an engineer with a company for sixteen years (before being laid off) hence "jbeng". I've used it for my email address for many years, too. As far as my "reputation", I am nowhere near a newbie, as I've been in the field of electronics for nearly thirty years.
Jeff

 

[Bob Scott]

I dunno. My real name is ⌂AÇ╧
