Tell us about your user name & avatar

[wagon]

Hello all,

Tell us about you user name and avatar - I for one am curious as to what some of them mean!

I will get the ball rolling...

Wagon - I use that one a lot, relates to an old car I have : and the picture is just one I liked the look of.

[Mr Spock]

I was called this in school because of my interest in science and computers.
My avatar is the car I would like to buy when it hits the open market.

[knightfall]

Hi Y'all,

2 of my favorite comic book characters are Batman series Knightfall and Ghost Rider, obviously you can figure out which is which.

[unisys12]

Mine... well, this one dates back to when my wife and I got our first computer and connected to internet for the first time. We were signing up for a Yahoo account and couldn't think of a name. To make things simple, I opened up a book and said the first word I saw... Unisys. The book was one of my wifes school books when she was in college. After we had a name, I told her to pick a number. She quickly said, "12". Not sure why, but that's what she said, so...

I did the same thing with another name I used for a long time. YYZ81 I picked up a RUSH cd and picked the first title I saw, then added the year the album was released.

As for my avatar - That is an eye, of course, that I did in Blender. I haven't played with it much lately, but have be on again off again with it for a lot of years. I have been thinking of changing it recently... I just might do that! Thinking of a wine glass with wine spilling out of it.... there's another one I might do as well... hell I don't know!!

[Copier_Guy]

Mine was simple and not as complicated as Unisys.

I've been a Copier Tech for 25 years and in all that time I can remember many, many, many times when I would walk into an office and introduce myself to the receptionist. He/she would then get on the phone to the contact person I stated and say, "Hey so and so, the Copier Guys here!"

I heard it so many times, it just seemed perfect.

The Avatar was one of the few choices the site had and I thought it fit my personality perfectly.

Heeeeeerrrrreeeee's Johnny!!!

I wouldn't change it for the world!

[just a tech]

well guys.. as for mine-- i couldn't figure out a name for myself when i registered and i guess it was the humble good o'le boy in me that thinks of myself as nothin special.. so there ya go-- just a tech


as for my avatar, at the time i didn't see too much that was available that i liked..(wanted something i could be proud of.. ya know, being a new guy to the site and all).. well, i figured i was pretty damn proud to be a part of my country so i decided on the eagle.. so- there it is, plain and simple.. just like me..lol..

[scully]

[randula7]

[Elle]

the name is my name and the avatar is my current favorite pic (its on this desktop, its on the lappy desktop and its even the vista marker for my lappy login) she'll make a fine tatoo some day - Copier Guy i toss em a curve ball, they start to say the copier guy is here then they pause, back up and start again usually to finish with "copier lady" or "repair person" i'm startin to think i might be the only woman in the city doin this.

[blackcat4866]

blackcat has been with me since 1995. If you still have an old copy of Microsoft Publisher 95, this was a piece of clipart that caught my eye. In January 2003, I was looking for a new job, and when I signed up for the Job Classifieds Clipboard my favorite login was already taken! I had to take my second choice, blackcat4866, and its stuck with me since.

In 1995 I had one cat. Since then I'm up to six felines (they find me, really...). Sometimes I think that I'm one of them.

[10871087]

The 10870187 part is easy enough to understand (if your a Mita tech)

The avatar is just plain cool, I can't even remember where I found it.

[rthonpm]

Sorry, no Avatar for me... I just haven't found a cool enough one yet...
As for the name, it's a shortened version of the term Right Honourable Prime Minister. Just an old joke from college between my friends and I, but it just seems to work.

[Colormethis]

User name and avatar

Hello to all:

I litirally came up with it in about 1 minute, I have been in the graphic arts industry for about 25 years, quit my job one day and found this web site ( yah yah copier tech ), and it so happens I was watching Batman one evening, mind you batman never blew my skirt up, but the joker on the other hand, he just has it going on ( sick and twisted ), anyway did a quick google and the avatar was there. thats pretty much it, as for the name colormethis well you do the cmyk conversion.

[WOETC]

Don't have an avatar, because I haven't found out how to put one there, and haven't found one I felt attached to. My user name is my old rank and branch from my Navy days. It was so I could have a user name I would remember.

[prntrfxr]

I don't really have an avatar, I change it frequently to any picture I like at the moment. ( On my facebook account I used to use a photo of Jodi Foster, cause my friends and family said I looked like her when I was younger.) Current photo is the swing plate for the HP P4014/4015 printers. HP says if the brown gear is worn you should throw out the printer and buy a new one. We're selling the gears in a kit and this photo is from my installation instructions.

As for the name, I used to play more online games and I could never come up with a name that wasn't already taken. My first was simply, "Fixer". But, someone took it, so I tried printerfixer, but someone had that one, so I took out the vowels and prntrfxr was born. No one has this one yet but me. Don't take it, please!
