[Neil Toulouse]

FatSlug - Basically an insult someone threw at me during my university days and it stuck from there as my nickname! Also used as my handle for on-line games etc.

Job-wise I am a software developer in the UK.

I like work. It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours...

 

[CajunCenturion]

I figured it might a good time for another bump.

Thanks for periodically posting this "Welcome" link, I always enjoy browsing through all the handle origins.

[judgeh59]

judgeh59 - judge has been my nickname since I was 9 hours old...a nurse said I looked like a Judge she knew and my parents thought that was cute. I sort of lost the moniker for a bit in High School, but I don't mind it so much now...

[gbaughma]

I'm not sure how I got my handle...

--Greg Baughman



... but if you're wondering why I dropped the "n", think of the old 8-character max login days... talk about old habits being hard to break.



Just my 2¢

First name randy.
As an avid bowler, it was my goal to eventually reach a score of 700 in a 3 game series.
Perhaps I should now consider changing to randy800.

Qik3Coder:
My first job, where I was working when I found this forum, utilized a proprietary software language called Qik (version 3).

[flyboytim]

I originally appeared on TT with the handle C0h0nes. Following a slightly heated exchange with another member, my account disappeared without trace*, along with the offending thread, courtesy of the mods.

Having lost my marbles, as it were, out of pique, I took the middle name of my opponent and a reference to his business interests for my new handle. Then I did not visit here for years.

Years later, I discovered that my old handle had been Bowdlerized to C0i0nes. One more infringement and I suppose I would have become C0j0nes.

[N1GHTEYES]

I work in electro-optics, particularly infrared sensors. Nighteyes therefore seemed like a good idea, and I've used it elsewhere, but it was already taken on TT - hence N1GHTEYES.

My minion's suggestion that the all caps handle is because I shout a lot is a vile calumny. Underneath, in fact, I have a very tender sole. At, least I do when I'm standing. Hmm I seem to have strayed into the "Twin Words" thread...

I've been around TT for a good while now, mainly VB/Office/VBA, but I do enjoy this one too. The reason this entry is so late in coming is simply that I could have sworn I'd already written one. This also tells you something about my memory nowadays...

Mom always said that even with seven brothers and sisters, I was the "lone wolf". Given that I prefer to work un-noticed, in the background, "Ghost" just seemed to fit.

[guitarzan]

To finally add myself to the list, and also to give this thread a bump...

My handle was given to me by a former colleague and friend who passed away a few years ago, based on my (moderate at best) abilities with a guitar. Out of college I worked in R&D for a company that made medical instruments in Westchester, NY, and currently do some web/database programming and IT support for various small businesses in Long Island, NY.

Thought I had done this a long time ago.

I have lived in central Ohio all my life so my vocabulary is slanted to mid west version.

[newguy86]

My handle comes from a long (and unique) story about how I got started doing IT work and my constant drive to learn new technical skill sets, hence perpetually being the “New Guy”!

[IPGuru]

I am a telecom tech support engineer specialising in the Avaya IP office, it seemed like a good name to hive when I joined IP office forum here & is politer than some of the others I have been called.

I used to be a keen scuba diver but time & financial constraints mean I rarely get the chance these days.
