The oldies amongst us might remember that Jolly Jimmy featured in The Magical Mystery Tour.

It used to be my real name but I changed it last week to take after the generic soda at Aldi's (those cans are all around my computer)

Mine is the title of a song by Leonard Cohen .
I picked it because I like the song, as a comment on life in general, and because that's what we - crunchers, scientists, IBM et al. - are doing here: Waiting for the crunching to produce a minor miracle like curing a disease or paving the way for clean and cheap energy. |

Mine isn't my real name, nor does it represent anything.
I got the name from the random name generator in Neverwinter Nights 2.  |

What a wonderful idea, Jean Pierre!
I loved reading them so I guess it's my turn now. When I got my first long ago computer, I would sign up for interesting sights, as olivia, but then much later on, when I thought of them again, I would go to the site, forgetting my password, and they would instruct me to register again. So I'd write in "olivia" and they would say that that name was already in use... Of course it was. It was I, the same olivia. So in frustration, I changed it to oliviathefirst. |
