Just for fun, How did you choose your username?

amm0bob

american male = self explanatory
0 = zero , a nicname for me in the MP's, I was a good shot, and didn't waste ammunition even with an unfamiliar weapon
bob = short for Bobby, my given name


There were no caps when I got on the web in the beginning...

 

Simple - mine is my XBOX Live username.

 

I wanted something that reflected my personality.

 

Daniel is my name. I joined this site early enough that nobody had taken it yet. Fortunately for me, the site owner chose to use "Danny" rather than Daniel. In real life I will answer to "Danny" but I use and prefer Daniel.

 

Favorite food. My second favorite food is everything else.

 

The nickname I've been using on various boards and things for the past 30 years.

 

Well, don't that just take all the mystery out of it. I thought of it as 'to hell and back'

 

Data Wrangler

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_(computing)

In computer science, data is information in a form suitable for use with a computer.  Data is often distinguished from programs. A program is a set of instructions that detail a task for the computer to perform. In this sense, data is thus everything that is not program code.

In an alternate usage, binary files (which are not human-readable) are sometimes called "data" as distinguished from human-readable "text". The total amount of digital data in 2007 was estimated to be 281 billion gigabytes (= 281 exabytes).

In North America, a wrangler is also one who professionally searches for and/or handles particular products on film and television programs, and music videos, such as custom cars, or animals, or milk. 

=============================================

Professionally, I wrangle geoscience data for oil and gas exploration and production; however I also do a lot of IT, OS, and application support and troubleshooting.

 

Shelly T was the name of my Prius.

 

Since my mission has always been to make a difference and I've been the first to do some things (boldly go) with Prius...

As Icarus so cleverly deduced my real name from my username, if you haven't figured it out, watch a Spiderman movie or read a comic.

 

My name is Jeff and I live in....

 

That's funny. I don't pay a whole lot of attention to user names but always assumed your's was some sort of bible reference. I guess Star Trek could be the bible for SF fans

 

CIT = California Institute of Technology
class of 1991

..for no other reason than it's always available on forum boards.

 

Amateur Radio Callsign KK6PD!

 

Jimbo: Combined nickname of first and middle names. K: First initial of last name. Not terribly creative but it works.

 

My Grandfather Jim was Slim
My Uncle Jim was Jimmy
My Father Jim is J.J.
I am Jimbo
I have a Grandnephew Jim who is James

My first employer out of college was a software house with 21 programmers, 7 of which were named Jim, so I kept Jimbo.

The family just likes J names, I had no idea my cousin Dune was named Jess Junior and that Dune was his brother's attempt to say Junior. I never once heard him called anything but Dune. Which is good because I would have confused him with my brother Jess and my Uncle Jess. (Senior)

 

My Prius is silver, and I wanted a custom plate to go with it. Good thing I wasn't trying to be obscure - nobody 'gets it' as it is. OK, maybe two in about five years.
