Why/how did we choose our nicknames? - Page 9

**Desert Dream** · October 22nd, 2008, 10:51 PM

As i use other nicks on various other things, I wanted a name that was far removed from those. Sooooo I recalled my youth and the days I tinkered with a computer called the " Amiga. "

Anyways, if you ever owned that computer and was into the demo scene, which showcased the machines audio and visual capabilities ?? You bound to have seen the the demo called " Desert Dreams " by a group called Kefrens. The opening music they created i found out later was " inspired " from a certain pink floyd

It can be seen in its 2 part glory on YouTube. Needless to say i was a diehard Amiga fanatic ( the geek that i was ) and used that computer for gaming, creating music, sound edits as well as the demo scene and still own one even today. Such as the technology was so far ahead of its time can still do things modern pc's only dream of.

You can wake up now I've finished lol

I suffer a mild form of electile disfunction ...

I heard this phrase on the radio during a discussion about low voter turnout in the western world--the radio talkers spoke of scepticism, apathy, alienation, and cynicism on the part of voters. I believe we need better governments than what we have but will not get them for these exact reasons.

. I lost track of them over the years but I bet that now they would be quite different

This would be the famous Patterson sisters of Nova Scotia?

Way better than, say, Randy West.

Mine's from the name of a comic strip character from my youth, Otis Krayola.

Reading through all these, I'm struck by all the Brits we have on VEF - or, at least, who've answered in this thread. T's great!

I just wanted fast access to some stuff (don't remember what) which is reserved for registered members. The name should have no real relation to me so I just choosed what came to my mind in this moment. For whatever reason this was svga. If I had suspected that i become a regular member I'd choosed a better name
