Cypher

Many moons ago when filling in the registration page back in, erm 2003, for the life of me I couldnt think of a decent nickname rather than just "Rob".

Thinking about it, the word Cypher came to mind, which quite simply means    something of no value or importance, which is how I felt about the meaning of a nickname/avatar.

At the time though I didnt know that Cypher was the american spelling, and Cipher being the british and correct spelling.  Though on the bright side, I cant help but look at the "correct" spelling and not help but pronouce it Cif-er and sound like some kind of domestic cleaning product.

The current picture is quite simply the one and only Hoff to honour our new lord of thine internet kingdom.

Which is probably why you ended up with an algorithm for encryption - quite a few words have more than one meaning.

I put the avatar up on OCS once, and later in a photo-of-yourself thread, someone said I looked just like my avatar - so I havent changed it since :)

QuoteI need a new avatar - mines crap!

<-- sdp (IN LOWERCASE, FOR THOSE WHO ARE BLIND) cos its easy to type and hard to google. I had issues with a stalker (both RL and online) once and I like to conceal my identity.

Pic changes all the time - Im working my way through MCOG atm and its crap but I feel like I gotta watch it anyway cos it was so awesome when I was a kid.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.
