I stole mine from a friend in year 2000 -))

Anyone has any idea what it means???

Temetka · #66 Post by **Temetka** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 12:14 am

Temetka = A name for a race of Ancients Reborn in an RPG that I play. Being a Temetka means you have mastered the arts of magic, psi, combat and your soul. It means to be enlightened. To guide the way and guard the door.

However my other favorite handle is zerowaitstate. I have been using that one since my 2400baud modem BBS days. How many of you here know what a zerowaitstate is? Oh I used to spell it short hand some times as: -=zWs=-

Heck, how many of you know what a handle is, or even know what WWIV is?

Purcy · #67 Post by **Purcy** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 8:02 am

I know a handle is usually a transmission nickname (shortwave radio, CB's, etc) and zero wait state is immediate memory access on a computer? My former husband was a computer analyst, lots of computer talk (not that I understood it all)

I made up the name about 6 years ago. It's the blending of some Latin words.

NS · #69 Post by NS » Sat Mar 03, 2007 1:54 am

This is a very nice thread. We were behaving like a big family over here.

I enjoyed this thread the most!!!

I used NS when it is available and used anti_spy999 when the username NS is not available.

jason5885 · #72 Post by **jason5885** » Wed Mar 07, 2007 5:48 am

Jason is my first name, Jarunsuk is my last name. I am Jason Jarunsuk from thailand and 5885 derives from my e-mail address.

I have used jason5885 as my e-mail address since 2004.

@NS, i am shocked to see your true self appearing on my thinkpad screen when we first chatted with each other using skype with webcam. You are a girl? I always thought that you are a guy?:?

NS · #73 Post by NS » Wed Mar 07, 2007 5:58 am

To clear up all doubts about my true identity, i admitted that i have been sharing account with my GF sometimes since last september 2006.

<This is the reason why i chose not to use webcam to talk to anyone of you out there but my GF likes to do so>...

I will be leaving this forum soon and this account will be hers.

*sorry for becoming off topic here*

Shows how wrong one can be when one assumes genders of other forum members - I assumed exactly the same thing though.

EDIT: Just saw the above post...

NS · #75 Post by NS » Wed Mar 07, 2007 6:13 am

No, i am a guy but i am sharing account with my gf and jason happened to chat with my gf via webcam.

Sorry, i should do something like this next time i made a post.

Go to 1 of the forummers image thread to check on her image.

I'd forgotten about that thread...

And that I hadn't posted any laptop pics on the Webshots page I'd quoted.

mpcook · #83 Post by **mpcook** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 7:01 am

Well mine's obvious I suppose, first and second initial, last name. I have been using it around the net since early 80's. If I have to, I append something at the end. I am always very happy when I register somewhere and find that it's not taken

, which started happening in the 90's

Mines a nickname that my friends use.. and if yoiu try an fight a nickname it only gets used more, so you got to embace it.

o1sowise · #85 Post by **o1sowise** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 9:11 am

My wife gave me this nickname, befitting a "Su-per Genius" - as she and Wile E. Coyote would say.

Andersonjoe711 · #86 Post by **Andersonjoe711** » Fri May 04, 2007 6:20 pm

Mine is the Email address my college gave me, plus the store I was in when i came up with my original name (Scarecrow711)

This one's just my last name, first two letters of my first name, and middle name initial

It works out thoe, some of my friends just have random letters after thier last name. hehehehehe, now i have a (not so) secret alias!
