Your username
I think my username here on mcompute is pretty self explanatory, "Mark". :tongue
I'm sure there's some more interesting ones out there with a story behind them!
How did you come up with your username?
Do you like your choice?
My name is Chris. And I'm special.
Mine is my last name if it was pronounced with hard conconents, a sneeze, some urgency, or an accent- backwards.
If you say my initials, REALLY quickly, that's the word you get + an M on the end so it's long enough not to get caught by "Your username must be at least 5 characters"
There was a classical singer called Sharn, and because I did singing lessons at school I was known as Sharn
Big comes from me being bigger than most folk (especially chavs at school), I've used this username since 2003 and never looked back

Definitely paid off. *cough*
My name (which is my second life handle) comes directly from dealing with a lot of TCP/IP.
SYN (Synchronize) Packets and ACK (Acknowledge) Packets are what make up the majority of all TCP communications. The only other Packet would be a FIN which is used when a socket is terminated. I do a lot of network data analysis in my profession and so you could say I snack on a lot of packets. Pack3t SynAck3r

This may be, more than anything else, geeky.
And I also wanted to say:
Geeky, that.
And:
Thought so.
This is, of course, a compliment coming from a nerd.

I thought it was Sean with an 'h' and an 'r' in it minus the 'e'

I am what I am
, and I always assumed my name's meaning was self explanatory to those with a working knowledge of TCP/IP. Your name calls visions of a lock and key to me. I think, after observing and interacting with you, the name suits you well.
Regarding the spelling of the singer referred in Sharn's name: M-E-A-T-L-O-A-F.
