We have so many identifying codes associated with ourselves (or our property) these days. Due to a storm, my house lost electric power service yesterday. I found that there is a 17-digit ESI (Electric Service Identifier) and an 11-character Meter Number associated with the electric distribution, as well as a 7-character Account Number associated with the energy supplier (which in Texas can be different from the distribution provider -- my energy comes all from wind, solar, and hydroelectric sources). The repair service can use your 10-digit home phone number to look up these details in their database. I use a program on my PDA/cellphone to keep track of the many dozens of account numbers and passwords attributed to me. Bill |

In my case, I'm the third. Initials are GEM -- George Eric M (last name). So... you get a "chip" off of a gem, but not sure how that morphed into Chipper. Quote:

Middle name and street name doesn't really work, it's normally your first pet's name + street name.

I have had to register yet again. See my thread on "About this site" as to why.
As for my present user name: I wanted a funny username based on the juxtaposition of "evil" with something small, cute and fluffy (apart from a cat of course, they're widely known to be evil). As the Australians here will know, a quoll is a marsupial which resembles a spotted rat; very sweet. I was going to use "evilbunny", but too many others have used that one, and in any case "bunny" is a rude word in Australian English. |

Amusing that after all these years, the latest post is from the original poster under another name!
I try to always use what you see here, (MikeBlake@wherever) though if that's been used I may add "RI" (my state) or "1". |

I like the suggestion made 9 years ago that Morse Code be used for posting.

Linux : my favorite OS, more specific Debian GNU/Linux and derivatives like LMDE, Ubuntu and derivatives like Linux Mint.
Arie : my first name. Just an ordinary name I always thought. A couple of years ago I searched if it had a special meaning, and it has : It comes from the Hebrew Ari, meaning Lion of God (my fathers parents came from what we called "bible belt") |
