I like stars
I just searched for some star names on google and "Aquilae" sounds cool as shit
That's a great idea!! I like choosing a new username for each site and stars often have fantastic names already!
It's a name I made up for a character in an rpg game when I was a kid, I liked it enough and was registering for my first email address around then, so I adopted it as my handle.
I built robots when I was a teenager, at least one caught fire...
My non-bot account on this instance which wasn't supposed to be my main account, only used for setting communities up. My main account's instance closed, so I made this my main. Still not a robot, though.
My parents started calling me it about thirty years ago; it’s either an allusion to the fact I have broken so many bones, or a tacit admission that I was an unplanned pregnancy. Or both.
It's from the Cohn brother's movie, "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs." Early in the film Buster lists off some of his other "cognomens," one of which is The San Saba Songbird. It's not really relevant to anything, I just thought it was amusing. I do, however, play guitar and sing cowboy songs.
Not wanting to use my real name, I was thinking "I want to use a pretend name for a fake man".
However, I couldn't think of a pretend name for a fake man, so I used my real name in the end.
There was a Windows 95 toolkit made by the developers, separately from Microsoft, called "Tweak Tools 95". Years later, I wanted to pick a 90's hacker style username to use in Counter Strike 1.6, and this came to mind. There was one gamer guy called "Tel" (like, his mum called him that) who would actually use that instead of my real name.
Years later, I get accusations of references to South Park or being a meth head. I didn't even know what meth was at the time. When I played Clash of Clans, some random meth head started a conversation with me because he thought he'd found a kindred spirit.
It is a variation on a creature from folklore in my area. It might give some people an idea of where I am and some of the things that I am interested in, but is still fairly vague.
Would I be right in thinking you have webbed feet and a circular family tree?
Well, there's an example of it being vague enough that people can still get the county wrong.
And, when it comes down to it, even if it were the county generally associated with those, the whole webbed feet thing originates with the other half of that county than the one that has any connection with this folklore.
Mine’s location based, as explained on my website http://www.snaprails.uk/
You have to disable https only I think.
Why "Snaprails"?
- A number of years ago I needed a name for an internet account and picked the name of the park near my house as it was unlikely to have been used elsewhere.
- Later I registered it as my domain name and 20-odd years later I'm still attached to it.
- The park and surrounding housing areas were once the grounds of a large house and are now a public open space called Snaprails Park.
- The gate lodge to the house still stands at what is now the entrance to the park, although for a while it was unoccupied, vandalised, and looked like it might not survive it has now been re-occupied and refurbished into a home again.
Yes, I've never got around to sorting out https and the site doesn't need it.
