The year that I joined DCU Hasselhoff was given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. With all the new challenges in my life at that time I found that he was someone I could look up to. I could admire his achievements. He was like an uncle to me. I grew up on Kinght Rider and am looking forward to the new movie coming out this year. And then when I got a little older and started noticing girls I got interested in Baywatch. I wanted to be the stud that he was on that show. Appropriately in 2000 when I joined redbrick he released one of his many hit albums in Germany - "The Magic Colleciton". So I chose david as my redbrick username because ... well actually its not that interesting really, its my name in real life. | The year that I joined DCU Hasselhoff was given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

Long story, guys i used to know named me Wilburtino, i didnt really like it cos they were muppets. However, it grew on me over time. Wanted Wilburtino or Will as my username but they wouldnt let me :( so wilburt was the only one left. Like all rb usernames i think, they are spur of the moment. (or admin mistakes) | Long story, guys i used to know named me Wilburtino, i didnt really like it cos they were muppets. However, it grew on me over time.

Inspired by the username of this cybersecurity guy who gave a really cool talk at DEFCON about an Intel ME (yes, ring -3) exploit iirc. and it stuck with me. we're cooked. | |||
Also the better way to zero out EAX [xor eax, eax]. Pronounced either /X-or-E-A-X/, /X-R-X/ or just /xerox/. | |||
