It's a short mash up of my full name. Didn't mean it to be so godly, the arrogance of my user name didn't hit me until after I registered.

I've used a number of name mash ups on the internet, enough that I don't even think about it when I make a new one. I thought about changing it but said ah well.

Huh. I've just assumed you were a C programmer (like myself) - with a typical programmer's ego.

My tag is just my name/middle initial/name. Not very creative, I suppose.

Haha. I took a few classes on C++ but the only language I ever wrote any thing useful in was lowly VBA.

Same as briandmyers, I was convinced that you must be some hardcore C hacker.

Long ago (on the ancient Sierra Network, actually) I used the handle CGator, because I used C and (at that time) worked for Seagate.

Another handle I've used once or twice is Okiwi - a portmanteau of Okie and Kiwi.
