Re: Origin of User Names?
 

Well, when I was a stupid kid in high school (this is 10 or 11 years ago), my friend and I were trying to figure out what we wanted our hacker screen names to be, the idea was we were both going to choose a famous assassin from history, then add 2600 on the end (a quarterly magazine dedicated to hacking).

Well, our grand plans of "hacking the planet" (:r) never came to fruition, but the screen name stuck and I've used it ever since :p

Name, former profession (no longer an active CPA, so I'm probably violating some sort of ethics rule as a result)

Also my screen name from back in the AOL days.

Mine is my name, obviously. The numbers, actually, I am not too sure of. The 84 is my birth year, but I am not sure on why I have a 30 in front of it?

That is a GREAT song!! :tu

My username started back in high school when I was big into breeding reptiles. Kenyan sand boas were the first snakes I was successful breeding...and breeding multiple morphs. I have yet run into the "Username is taken" message using it, so it stuck.

It would be a safe bet that if you see a KenyanSandBoa on any forum or online gaming network...it's me. :D
