Thread: User Handles

    My handle comes from my younger and more malicious days...


    Confirmed kill- the name given to a defaced website, an owned box or a server that has had a successful DoS attack launched against it.


    Like I said, I was alot more malicious in my youth. These days Im too busy just trying to figure out the tricky parts of Linux and keep myself outta trouble!

    Talking

    My name came from my cat (yes, I know.. lameness). Originally, back in 93 it was Mittens (the cat's actual name) but while on IRC someone else said that he was Mittens and was recognized as such. He asked if I would consider changing.

    I thought what the hell and added the Ms to refer to my gender. .

    Nowadays I'm pretty much the only MsMittens I've ever seen online and even have a vanity domain.

    Hmm... anyone else every play Sierra's online game The Realm? It has since been tossed over to "Codemasters" or something. Anyway, I was one of the original beta testers... I stopped playing quite a while ago. It was an online multiplayer RPG, basically. Not 3d, however. Anyway, I was trying to find a good name to use and I thought about Teran from... what was the book? I think Ursula Le Guinn was the author... black cauldron something. Anyway, I wasn't super-enamored of the character, but I decided to use Terran. This was before starcraft came out and everyone suddenly got the impression that ANYONE using that name was automatically using it as the latin meaning and was also 'stealing' it from starcraft.

    Anyway, I decided to henceforth use Terr, since that's what everyone used as a nickname for me anyway on the Roleplay chat channel in the game. (Channel 2)

    The [HvC] tag is from when I was in Tribes (1) (Online First-person shooter, teamplay), so it's not a permanent fixture to the name. I just use the tag because... well... I forget. HvC is short for Havoc, which is the tribe/mod which I had a lot to do with. If the site is up (another HvC guy runs the server, and it has occasional outages) You can see the Tribes 2 site of it at http://www.havoctribe.org , which is my work, or the Tribes 1 site at http://www.planettribes.com/havoc/ , which is not mine.

    my handle is pretty self-explanatory. i'm not really a psycho, though, just... weird. and i didn't want to use my other handles.

    My handle...Mmmm, it just came up, i was with a friend of mine and we thought it would be like computer-internet related u know.
    Maybe it's kind of lame, but, what the hell.
    The only thing that matters is what we have in our minds, not the way we call ourselves...:-)

    I've always liked Alcatraz, the place, and the two movies involving it that I've seen. The latest was 'The Rock' which was a very good movie. Plus, I just like the sound of it.
    Why am I still here?
