Re: The Story Behind Your Username/Picture
USERNAME. Back in high school, I created an encryption algorithm from scratch. This was before I understood how bad of an idea such a thing was. I had named one of the functions xor_lof, "xor" being the logical operator known as "exclusive or" and "lof" being some sort of abbreviation for what the function acted on; I don't remember the details.
I reflected on how similar the function name was Zorlof, the name of a word processor I had used for the TRS-80 series of computers: After doing my best to ensure that "xorlof" was (at the time) globally unique, including fairly extensive searches of , Veronica, , and , I started using it (and my younger brother decided to start using Zorlof...grrr!) Notice there were no web searches because at the time the web was pretty tiny. WebCrawler might have been around, but I don't remember using it for this most important task. Also, I don't think I had good, comprehensive Usenet access at the time, but even if I did, I don't think there would have been a good way to search the current group of messages. IMAGE. I use various Smurfs for my avatar image because they're Smurfy. Duh! There is nothing more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. --MLK |

Re: The Story Behind Your Username/Picture
My username is Not User Name because I am a rebel.
My picture is one of the few I have on photobucket. Someday I'll find something clever and relating to Not User Name type things. |

Re: The Story Behind Your Username/Picture
My user name is my default name for anything fantasy. Yeshua is the Hebrew form of my name and it means "The Lord Saves." It also sounds cool and fits in a fantasy setting.
My avatar is one of my favorite video game characters of all time: Joshua from Fire Emblem Sacred Stones. In addition to being one of the best units in the game, he has a great personality and backstory. The fact that we have the same name and I'm a redhead is completely unrelated, I swear... |
