It is well known that "Bob" is a nickname for robert in modern times, a lesser known nickname for robert is that of "Hob". Hob is a nickname for robert from the "Middle English" dialect. This is the version of english spoken and written around the late middle ages. Thus my username can be percieved like "RobertTheRobert" which is redundant. As I always like to say "Simplicity in redundancy, and elegance in simplicity" Smilie

It's my real name. I've been doing this for so long, that monikers were not an option when I started.

If you know what crabs is and where it came from - that's when and where I first hit into unix and C. And I was, um, post-forty then....

Now I'm ex-post facto. Smilie

My little name

Ahh, well, this was my screenname for a lot of chat servers and other stuff.
I made it when I was about, let's see, 9, I believe. I was obsessed with the first version of Mac OS X, and I was really interested in the whole darwin thing. Well, this name is supposed to be a short form of Mac Wild Command-Line lover. Weird as it may be, it's kinda stuck in my head, so I kept for all my other pseudo-names too.

Interestingly enough, someone in AOL already had this name Smilie I wonder who else than me would of named themselves like that. So for my AOL screenname, I just used my other favorite, EvoLUtion249. And then, the stupid AOL thing changed my name to EvoLUtion2497521, with a message saying it was "improper due to harassment" Smilie

IM me freely, although I'm not going to be always on.
