Actually I just figured I should change my account name so nobody would
make sarcastic remarks about why my name on here is my actual name and
not... well, what it is now.

Oh and since Le_lemGo will now accuse me of picking on him, I'll have to
state that was just an example because that's the one that I have been
wondering the most and for the longest about.

You seriously need to cut-down on the self-angst, Sondre.

Well, I post here under my real name, but as you can see from my email
address or the Anthony Gatto forum, I frequently use some variant of
lambda. I am lambda on IJDb, but I don't use that account for posting
here.
lambda refers to the lambda calculus, a model of computation based
purely on higher-order anonymous functions (higher-order means they
are functions that take functions as arguments and return other
functions). This abstraction is one of the underlying foundations of
functional programming, which I won't go into detail on at the moment.
If you're interested, read The Structure and Interpretation of
Computer Programs <http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/
book.html>, or just google around for "functional programming".

Oh... yeah. That's true.
Okay, so like all the other idiots, I used to spend a lot of time by the
computer. And back then that was not on a forum. The time was not spent
playing WoW, but the so much better Warcraft III.
Everybody had their own (wannabe)cool screen name, and at one point I
figured I needed one. Before I had read it a trillion times when signing
in on forums and reading my own posts, Yomay seemed to be ok, so I used
that. And it just happened to become my Youtube user name, and my AG forum
username. Maybe THAT should be my name on here?
Anyway, I uninstalled all my computer games about a year ago, so don't
worry... the only computer related obsession I have now is reading and
spamming forums(hence my present username here).

No, it's not. Actually, I'm not even a human being, I'm a cat. My name is
Findus and I'm Pettson's cat. I'm a cute, shrewd, playful, curious and
ingenious cat. Sometimes, I happen to be too [insert one or several or all
of the above adjectives] and Pettson gets mad at me. But luckily, he
always forgives me.

I don't try to remind anymore how many words I put together in spontaneous
process of joining the internet society, though most people just read it
Ralph without noticing that it's kind of misspelled...
Some of you may meet me as Clarence at the chatroom and the idea for that
name comes from Norbi, who used it as a compliement not that long ago.
My real name is Marcin Kościelny which is equivalent to Churchill or
Iglesias.
When the opportunity occurs I would like to say that Sondre's name sounds
great.

I was nasty at WC3 when it first came out. I had a great human strategy
involving the combo of storm bolt + slow on the enemy hero and bombarding
them with mortar fire. Made top 200 on the east coast solo ladder, but
then they came out with a patch that weakened mortars, storm bolt, and
sorceresses. That was the day I gave up on that game lol.

You shouldn't be arranging a convention like that with such horribly bad

I never got very far in the ladder games. But then my favorite strategy

I agree, although roguelikes can be awesomely challenging. I'm currently
trying to beat Ironband. I got 3 characters down to around 1750' but there
they all met terrible fates ("you failed to get the spell off *more* It
breathes sound" zomg nurf goldragonz plox).

That's pretty clever ;)
Actually I played Crash Bandicoot on Playstation a LOT, too. I once beat
all the 25 levels + 35 gems + 25 time relics + 5 bonus levels in Crash
Bandicoot: Warped in two days. That was pretty intense.

[Completely OT] Hey Ameron!
Didn't you use to be located in Sweden?
Does it have anything to do with your dad's (or some other relative's)
first name is Håkan?

Hi there lemGo
Yes, I was located in Sweden before, and I am indeed Swedish.
Moving to Norway has nothing to do with my dad's first name, or any other
distant relatives first names either (and my dad's first name isen't
Håkan).
Why are you asking this? It seems very random to me.
Does it have anything to do with another juggler named Rosvall by any
chance? I know of one Rosvall who juggles (except for people in my
family). Maybe he was the guy moving 'cause of his dad's first name.

Thanks for your reply!
The (in)famous Håkan Rosvall is the main prosecutor in the case against

I personally prefer when people use their real names. I've gone to
conventions and met people who I only later realized I knew through RJ by
a pseudonym. I think handles are very 90's. It is much better to go with
your real name in a place like RJ. I have also noticed that obnoxious or
insulting posts tend not to come from people who use their real name
(because anonymity tends to bring out behaviour a person otherwise
wouldn't engage in). I skip more posts by those with handles in longer
threads perhaps because I expect higher signal-to-noise from those using
their real name. If people want shed their handles, the IJDB allows you to
change your login name and you can use capitals and spaces in your new one.

Is Starcraft The Game? It should be :).
KooKie is pretty old. I wanted to change my name to "Kim Devos", but that
would mess up my records and I'm too lazy to change them. I'm not really
into putting capital letters where I shouldn't anymore, but like most
people, I came up with it one day and never changed it since.

Cool.
I can't remember having listened/watched/read the news since I moved to
Østersund in 2004. And come to think about it, I didn't really care much

Hey, I bet everyone except me and maybe some busstorgare/lodis knows about
that Håkan.

Good points you're raising.
But it also works the other way round. I got this nickname before the

titles and last poster, your name sometimes appears as 'Sondre & Oslash'.
But when I read your post your name is back to 'Sondre Overby'. That has

I think that something in the IJDb system, or in your web browser, is
getting confused by the Ø at the beginning of this name (that's an O
with a slash through it). That character can be written in HTML as
Ø (in case something screws that up, that's an ampersand,
followed by Oslash, followed by a semicolon). In the process of the
character being translated by various systems, it's possible that one
of the pieces of software along the line has a bug, and the Ø is
being displayed literally instead of as an Ø.
In fact, it looks like the IJDb software is truncating people's names
at 14 characters, which if you wrote out Sondre's name with Ø
represented as "Ø", gets you "Sondre Ø" (note the missing
semicolon). Now, my browser (Safari) actually displays that as "Sondre
Ø", but another browser might not interpret the Ø because it is
written incorrectly, without a semicolon. The solution would probably
be to fix IJDb so it counts HTML entities as 1 character, or at least
make sure it doesn't truncate HTML entities.

I guess I agree with you in part, Jason, but I'll take my having read 99%
of the stuff posted to rec.juggling over the past four years to establish
who has my preferred signal-to-noise ratio[1], rather than just base it on
names. Neither The Void or Little Paul post under their real names, but
I'll read everything they write.

This being the internet I prefer not to post too many of my personal
details on it [1]. I have experienced amusing assumptions by people based
on my name depending on where I am on the internet [2]. As I posted in the
thread about it a couple of years ago, this is the nickname given to me by
the juggling community so I think it is entirely appropriate for me to
keep it.
When meeting people in real life I sometimes use my "real" name and
sometimes "fak". It all depends on what mood I am in. Some people manage
to connect the dots on their own, others need it spelling out [4].
fak
[1] Or at least actively manage what is out there.
[2] For example, the Lost message board readers assume I am male, the
Ravelry forum readers assume I am female [3]. Mostly, I'm just me.
[3] If you don't know, I'm not telling you.
[4] I'm looking at you, Matt Hall ;-)

I think Oslash is a perfect forum name.

Wait, his name isn't Paul?
I know some people who still post under handles in various places,
because they don't want their stuff easily googleable by an employer
or admissions office. A lot of it isn't really bad stuff, but
sometimes there's stuff that might cause an employer to judge you on
the basis of stuff that really shouldn't be their own business. And
some people go by their internet handles in real life as well.

Well, sure. But it's not his full name. In the same way that while my
name is Dave, I'd still call 'popstar_dave' a handle, rather than my real
name. Whereas, I'm assuming that your real name is, in fact, 'Brian
Campbell'.
Cheers,

Yeah, that kind of thing, back in 2001. When it was just for singing and
dancing.
Never use it offline, though.

That assumption is indeed correct.
I guess the point I was trying to make is that the complaint about
screen names is that they're pseudonymous, so people can sometimes
hide behind that sense of anonymity, as well as making it difficult to
match real people to handles when you go to a convention. As far as I
know (and I've never met him, so I don't know very far), Little Paul
goes by Little Paul or LP in real life (at least, if you can consider
juggling conventions real life), and it's based on his real name, so
it's not likely to be one of the pseudonymous forum names that people
actually have a problem with. popstar_dave is a little more difficult
to match to someone, since as far as I know, you don't go by it in
real life (again, I've never met you, so I don't actually know that;
just the impression I got), and there are likely to be lots of Daves.

That's a fair point. I certainly don't go by popstar_dave at conventions.
But I certainly don't try to hide behind it. In fact, if I meet someone
at a convention and think that they might read rec.juggling, I'll
explicitly mention that I post there as popstar_dave.

There was a topic about how good it is to have your actual name as your
username here. It isn't that easy to find it among several other that are
similar, so I'm posting this here.
