Mine is because I've always liked pigs, and the " i " is because I love Apple computers. (Although the only ' i ' computer now is the iMac)

Not if I don't have to explain mine.  |
Alright, ya got me... Gadgeteer comes from several influences. One, because that's what I am. The other from a surplus shop down in the Houston area with a similiar name and most importantly Gordon McComb's "Gadgeteer's Goldmine" book.
I love Gordon's writing style and his way with topics. Very much like Sam's though I was influence by Gordon well before I read Sam's FAQ. I have several of Gordon's books and I really have to say that him and Sam both are the true "Gadgeteers"!! For some reason, Laser_X was no longer acceptible and already taken, thus, I took on the name as "gadgeteer" for my love for the knowledge that Mr. McComb has enlightened me with. Mind you, this was well after extensive learning at one of the most respectible (at the time and possibly still) facilities for laser education. TSTI-Waco, Laser Electro-Optics Technology. I am no math or english wiz but the basics there greatly improved my troubleshooting skills. A great variety of fields were learned there and I'll leave it at that. All I can say is that there is not much that I am afraid to tackle and tear into.
So, your turn!!!!!
Where does "Athoul" come from?!?

N1NJ03 is Ninjoe in 1337. Ninjoe is nickname i got in high school about 5 years ago. My first name's Joe, I wear lotsa black, and I'll learn whatever I can of any martial art. The funny thing is, is that i know next to no Ninjitsu. Oh yea, i tend to be kinda sparratic and jump around a bit.
Here's something wierd; i recently googled "ninjoe", and i found out there's a middle aged filipino guy named Joe Perez, who does a lot of martial arts stuff and professional video production like me. This person also goes by Ninjoe. So I guess i'm just a doppleganger, only younger and mexican (half) instead of filipino. |

I wonder but I don't gimp...whatever that means...
However, "Godfrey" is my last name. Philip (or Phil) is my first. Not too complicated.
That's "Philip" with one 'L' not two. It's the Irish spelling, not English.
I was always told by my parents, "we couldn't afford two 'L's".
Depending on name availability on forums, pmgodfrey as Mark is my middle name. I try to keep it simple...
Now PMG are also the initals of my wife's married name. Keep this in mind for the next statement. She is turning 50 in January. PMS were her initials before marriage. But that was given long before PMS was known to be Pre-Menstrual Syndrome.

I had never even noticed that
Anyway my actual name is Sam but people have been calling me sambo for years now , wich i think might have something to do with the fact that i like guns a lot . And the 5472 is simple because the adress sambo@hotmail was already taken so i put this number behind it , and i use ever since on almost every forum. |

I got my from the first programming language i've learned - logo. The full name of it is Comenskium Logo. I took the letters C and L from there.
Now, about the "vezlys" part - if you're familiar with logo, you know, that everything is done by giving commands to a small turttle.Turttle(English)=vezlys(lithuanian). |
