Ianedres

'Ianedres' spurns from a BBS door game I set up ('TradeWars'?) for a ship named 'Sebron Ianedres', which just seemed to flow and sounded like a ship's name to me. It was part of a series of names I devised for naming computers and other related projects...

I also intended to name my children with some of those names, but the wife shot that down, along with 'Node 1' and 'Node 2'... so I named my pets with some of them.

AnimeUK

Well. Mine is simple 'Anime', which I love and 'UK', where I live.

I could be funky and say something like AN Input Methd Editor...

..but I'd be lying..  :)

evilicy

One day in the winter I saw a dog fall threw the ice on a lake. So I jumped in to save it. I'm not a strong swimmer so I kept falling under with the weight of the dog. But finally I managed to pull myself and the dog out. When I got out I was literally all ice. I went and gave the dog to the old woman who owned it and she started yelling at me saying I almost drowned her dog. So I grabbed it by the collar and chucked it back in the lake and told her to go get it herself! My friend looked at me and said wow that was evil! So I put the two together!

Okay so that was a lie the real reason is:

Icy is because I'm from Canada and it really is flippin' cold up here and the evil part is because the cold is evil! Plus it just became a universal name for most of my logins since I started using the internet.

sturmkatze

Sturmkatze comes from one of my 3 original attack cats. Actually, the first WAS named A.B. for Attack Beast (they were tough cats..., but cool... I miss them). It sorta got morphed into attack cat and then on to Sturmkatze. I use it a lot. :-Þ

Thurnok
Dervied circa 1977 by myself as a Dwarf Paladin character for Dungeon & Dragons.  Later, around 1980 it became my BBS handle and SysOp handle for my own BBS "Dungeon Quest".  You'd be hard pressed to do a search on it and find it related to anything other than myself.

This was fun to find during the search   ;D

Ianedres

Sizzling stats there Carina. Good find, but cold-hearted...  :o

Interesting enough Thurnok, I too slinked around the BBS scene in the '80s. We're telling on ourselves here, but that was a time when you really had to be involved at a much deeper level with computers in order to communicate with others. Gone are those days, but being able to read the words as they actually came across the screen was something...  and when the speeds went up (1200, then 2400, then GASP! 9600!!) you could download something in under ten minutes.

hehe.. well, as much as I'd like it to be related to what your mind is thinking G6, if you did a search for sammie you'd find posts by sammie99 who is the operator of that site.  I've helped her several times with a number of her sites, and spent quite a bit of time configuring that particular one which is why you see the 14 hours.  :)

So get your mind out of the gutter girl!  LOL
