    My Avatar.. found it in the times of the dinosaur hype

    My name: In the year of 9 AD there was a big struggle between the roman legions under quintilus varus and herrmann the cherusker; the romans lost big time :P
    I live in the near of the former battlefield, so i choosed this name, and btw, it makes it easy for all to memorize "herrmann the german"


    This is the monument in detmold

          I got the nickname at work when I first started. Mainly from big drinking stints and being out all night.

          The avatar, well it kind of speaks for it self. lol
          Please don't ask me for firmware or service manuals as refusal often offends.

              Thought I would bring this old post back, because it was fun and gives the new guys a way to tell us about themselves.
              Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

                    User name is just my first and last name stuck together, I use it for other website user names as well, need to keep it simple so I can remember it.

                    My avatar is down to me being mad on guitars, and I'm getting worse. If I had more money, I wouldn't have any left, if you know what I mean.

                      My user name comes from my first sled dog with my birth year because the name is always taken.
                      I live in Alaska and love the winter so I picked a common windows picture that represents that.

                                User name came from a running joke at a company where I used to work before my current employer, trouble is it was so long ago I can't remember the joke but the nickname stuck.

                                The avatar came from the fact that when talking to another engineer about a problem I usually know if I have seen an ATI (Canon) about a problem or remember something on here and point them in the correct direction, usually the more obscure the better.

                                The sig is from a line Scotty said in one of the Star Trek films, so I have combined both of my favourite sci-fi films in my set up.
