[urgeok2]

just for the crazy fun of it all - here's the whole enchalada :


i first joined the internet once it became available to the public many years ago (up til then it was mostly command line based available to mostly university kids.

When i called to set up an account - the guy said - pick a name that's unique.
for some reason i didnt thing 'firstname lastname2' or something like that - i thought he wanted me to pick something crazy that no one else would have though of.

so .. at work i was using band names for passwords (which changed every month - so a theme helped) I was using urgeok (yes - for urge overkill) at the time so i gave that as a name - and after all these years it's all ive used.

i like the band - a lot - have all the albums ... but i wouldn'd normally give myself a nickname of a band i liked. I thought it was going to be a code thing - not something my email was based on.


anyway - i never change anything once i have it - so it stuck.

the funny part of the story is that - had i signed onto the internet a few months earlier when my password theme was godzilla monsters - i could have easily been called Mothra all this time.


a long, uninteresting expaination - but there you have it.
