Im bored so you get a story :P
Once apon a time when I was 11 my parents came home with a computer... wow I was excited! Soon after I was online and signing up to anything and everything but they wanted a username? Well there was dune buggy racing on the TV so doombuggy it was!
Well after a couple months when I actually wanted to sign up to something I found that doombuggy was already taken (prob by myself) so that changed to Doombuggie.
Over year later I had been playing online games for awhile and was getting annoyed with my name... it got shortened to Doomie and then couple years later shortened again to Dooms... and here we are!
Avatar picutre is a screen grab of Ewan McGregor in Long Way Round.

Probably will do, seeing as I only ever have Arnie/Huey as my av most of the time anyway. One of my old school friends had a picture taken with Arnie recently as he is out in America and has been working on his campaign trail, he got some kudos for that picture I can tell you.
Forgot to mention my name, which is totally self-invented and awesome.

My nick came from being too Serious when I was younger, its to remind me tobe a bit more laid back.
The avatar, well I started with a cat and they just seem to keep coming back. I have put up pics of women as an alternative but there seems to be a strong conservative streak in a lot of the people here.

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.

QuoteI need a new avatar - mines crap!
Please do!
<-- 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.
