Contrary to what some people would think, my name is not some corny james bond rip off. I originally was trying to get the name of simply, 0. The number zero. But your name has to be at least 3 characters long. So I tried 000. Taken. 001. Taken. 002. Taken. 003. Tak... hey wait, it worked!
I did not originally do that on head-fi, it was on another forum a really long time ago, and ever since then I have just used 003 on all the forums I join even if 000, 001 or 002 are actually available. In some cases 003 is taken so I had to use zerozero3.
sh0ebox is a nick that i came up with a long time ago when i played CS. just came up randomly and stuck ever since... i guess it fits me though since i am a shoe fanatic (not so much anymore as i used to be)
Several years ago, I was signing up as a member on a forum (AVS Forum?) and I tried my name and several other choices and everything I tried was already being used by someone else. I ended up trying uofmtiger as a last resort and it worked, so it kept it. When I went to other forums, including this one, I always tried it first and never had a problem with someone else having it already.
'jules' was taken so I added '650' only because I just bought a Treo 650 prior to joining head-fi. Funny thing is that it's got nothing to do with the HD650..
Absorbine Junior is a muscle linament. There is no product named Absorbine Senior. The nickname came from an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. In one of the between-movie sketches they were making up names for new Superheros. At one point Joel (I think it was Joel) mentions "the awesome power of Absorbine Senior". It struck me as funny so I ripped it off.
amphead the thread necromancer strikes again! Seriously, man, you know that these topics are ancient, right? This one started in 2002!
Anyways, my screen name comes partly from the fact that I'm a Final Fantasy fan and mostly from the fact that I'm a furry. Back in the day I used to use the name of the card game from FF8, "Triple Triad," as my screen name for everything. Eventually, I decided to cut it down to something a little more normal - "Trip." I later adopted it as the name for my furry identity, too. But, since that's not an uncommon name for people to use on the internet, I often do the usual furry thing and append my species to it to make it more unique.
HCI stands for Human Computer Interaction a course that was part of my Information Systems Masters, man stands for man, and 77 is a bus route that runs from Tooting to Waterloo in London (UK)
No 107 iirc, opposite Bucharest Road about 100 yards from the launderette and chippy and 1/2 a mile from Wandsworth prison, last stop for Derek Bentley, the last man to hang in Britain (1953).
