Bunbun: /* 2011/12 (Current) */

The name given to the leadership of Redbrick. Elected every year at the Annual General Meeting it is composed of 12 members: three admins, two helpdesk, Webmaster, a first year rep, a Secretary, PRO, Ents Officer, Treasurer and Chairperson. The First Year Rep is elected at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), usually held during Clubs & Socs Week at the start of October. You must be a first year member to run for this position. All members of the committee are given ops in #lobby while the admins, along with previous system administrators still in the root group, hold [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_user root]. The webmaster may also hold root, upon passing a root competency test.

They are the Society's most popular target for abuse and insults and work tirelessly and without compensation for the Society they love so much. A list of past and present Committee members can be found at http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/committee/

An alternative view of the Committee is that it is a collection of the power-mad, the arrogant, the popular and the insulting. All members have their own opinions on that matter but most will agree that without the Committee Redbrick would not be able to function, and for that, and perhaps that alone, they deserve thanks.

Bunbun: Strikethrough instead of just removing all references to resigned people >.>

The name given to the leadership of Redbrick. Elected every year at the Annual General Meeting it is composed of 12 members: three admins, two helpdesk, Webmaster, a first year rep, a Secretary, PRO, Ents Officer, Treasurer and Chairperson. The First Year Rep is elected at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), usually held during Clubs & Socs Week at the start of October. You must be a first year member to run for this position. All members of the committee are given ops in #lobby while the admins, along with previous system administrators still in the root group, hold [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_user root]. The webmaster may also hold root, upon passing a root competency test.

They are the Society's most popular target for abuse and insults and work tirelessly and without compensation for the Society they love so much. A list of past and present Committee members can be found at http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/committee/

An alternative view of the Committee is that it is a collection of the power-mad, the arrogant, the popular and the insulting. All members have their own opinions on that matter but most will agree that without the Committee Redbrick would not be able to function, and for that, and perhaps that alone, they deserve thanks.

Bunbun: I am heterosexual

A visual overview of who did what, when.

This gets less accurate the further back you go in time - I was working off the [[Committee]] page, making guesses at who resigned, when. 2006 onwards should be fairly accurate (working from memory). Feel free to make any corrections (it's a pig of a table, though, so you might want to work on it offline, and abuse the Show Preview function a bit).

At the very least, it shows the sheer number of people (and man hours) who have been involved in running Redbrick at one point or another.

(Idea stolen from [https://wiki.skynet.ie/Committee/CommitteeThroughThe_Ages Skynet]).

Emo

2011-03-05T21:12:34Z

Bunbun: /* haus */

After many users both laid claim to and denied their affiliation with the tag "emo", it has been decided that the wiki is the best Redbrick tool with which to lay the matter to rest. Here is a list of known emos on Redbrick and pics with which to both prove their "emoness" and identify/avoid them in the real world.

==aisling==
[[image:aeris.jpg]]
03:20 < Aisling > but i feel emo
^^ Proof enough.

==atlas ==
[[Image:Atlas_emo.jpg]]

Although not showing some of the more classic emo signs this person never seems to be happy, and has almost never been recorded smiling. That, and his other somewhat "unusual" habits make him emo enough for this page.

Saturday, 25th Feb 2007, Doyles Pub
receive: this is ac/dc! enjoy yourself
atlas: I shall do no such thing

== dregin ==
[[Image:emo_dregin.JPG]]

'''BREAKING NEWS: '''Dregin just came out of the emo closet to Castle in #lobby. Check [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~dregin/emo_out.txt here] for proof.

There is also evidence of dregin's allegiance to the ultra-faggy ''straight edge'' trend.

13:06 < Attol> someone recently told me they'd gone straight edge, can't remember who
13:07 < Dregin> Attol: It WAS ME!

The proof is undeniable.

< haus> He makes me want to cut other people
< elephant> for once

* haus thinks he needs a new blade

< haus> yea, you could always cut yourself or something instead

Text of http://redbrick.dcu.ie/~haus

Life.
It's all just one big fuck up really. People spend the majority of it looking for somebody else.
Like, what if you never do find that person who's supposed to make you happy? Do you die miserable?
Is anyone ever really always happy? Sure, I've been happy. But it never seems to last.
Happiness, building you up just to shatter it all down again when you won't see it coming since the beginning of time.
So what's the answer to avoid being shattered? Not letting anything external to your own body/mind.
That'll never work. You'll die alone like that.
But maybe it is better to die alone rather than just get hurt, over and over again.
I sure know I'm sick of being hurt, aren't you?

== lil_cain ==

[[Image:Lil cain emo.jpg]]

Recently spotted at the DCU Clubs & Socs Ball. Notice the anger expressed on his visage.

15:36 < lil_cain> hello great depression
15:37 < lil_cain> time to start stockpiling cigarettes, alchol, and razorblades me thinks

In Clubs and Socs: "I resign from life!"

Plan:
Life. Loath it or ignore it, you can't like it.

EEEMMMOOOOO!!!!

== nemo ==
[14:08] * nemo prays for the sweet release of death.

His name even has the word "emo" in it. How much more evidence do you need?

==ornat==

Don't let this user's seemingly happy facade fool you, as this photo evidence proves her emoness. Also has a strange obsession with hugs.

Apart from the trademark frown, phaxx appears here to be taking an uncharacteristically feminine interest in hair, make-up and wearing womens clothing; all hallmarks of the emo.

Photographical evidence of undone on the loose in the real world has proven hard to come by.
He has made it onto the list due to his constant claims to haircare prowess and threats to kill his parents in #lobby. Any better pictures may save the life of many an ill-educated DCU student should they approach him unaware of his "emoness" so, please act with the utmost urgency in passing these on.

Although many have long suspected zyox of being emo, evidence has only recently come to light:

NetHack is an Advanced Dungeons and Dragons simulator. (Read: NetHack is a game for when you have so few friends that you can't even muster up four people to pretend to be elves in some stupid dungeon). I like it though.

Players:
* [[User:gw|gw]] <s>is a fag</s>
* [[User:paraflux|paraflux]]
* [[User:Bunbun|bunbun]]

The version of Nethack on Redbrick is based on the Ubuntu version, which contains, among others, the [http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Menucolors menucolors] and [http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Hpmon hpmon] patches.
We also patch it with the [http://bilious.homelinux.org/?40 dumplog] patch, which records a lot of info about the game when you die.

A configuration file for the game (which takes advantage of hpmon and menucolors and makes it prettier with UTF-8 shit, among other things) is available [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~bunbun/.nethackrc here], just put it in ~/.nethackrc.
If you'd like to keep all of the dumpfiles created when you die, instead of just the most recent, add the following alias to your shell rc file (most likely ~/.zshrc)
alias nethack="nethack; [ ! -e \"/var/games/nethack/save/$USERID$USERNAME.gz\" ] && cp /var/games/nethack/dumps/$USERNAME.lastgame.txt ~/dumps/\`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S\`.txt"
Make sure to change $USERID and $USERNAME to your userid (gotten with the `id` command) and your username. This should save it each time you die to ~/dumps/YEAR-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS.txt, though in some cases it creates duplicates (If you quit before choosing your role/race/gender/alignment that I know of).

The current server room soundtrack is "Bitches Ain't Shit".

Unix Advanced

2010-10-04T23:36:07Z

Bunbun: zOMG MISSING COMMA

Advanced Unix Commands

This page is for those who are used to redbrick by now and want to learn how to do more advanced stuff such as running multiple programs at the same time from one terminal window etc.
Processes

A process is a program that runs when you execute a command in UNIX. You can have more than one process running at a time, which obviously means you can have more than one program running at a time. "How can this be, Conor!?" you shout at me. I cover my ears and respond that you can run some programs in the background or you can put some programs on hold while you do something else equally crazy. And here's how you do all this magic UNIX stuff!

== Suspending a Process ==

You can put a process on hold so that you can run another program and then come back to it later. Say for example you are reading the newsgroups and someone heys you and you want to reply but you are in the middle of a very deep posting on redbrick.debate. Well all you have to do is press CTRL and Z together on the keyboard and it will "suspend" slrn and bring you back to the shell, now you can hey as normal until you're ready to go back to the newsgroups, in which case you type fg and press enter. This will load up slrn exactly where you left off. Ta da!

== Jobs ==

Jobs are similar to processes except that jobs are controlled by the shell they're running under, whereas a process could be running on its own without a controlling terminal or shell..(sometimes processes without controlling terminals and in their own process groups are known as "daemons").

Processes forked off (I say "forked off" because the shell program (e.g. bash) normally uses a system function called fork to create a child process which then calls a function named exec to execute whatever program is being run..) by a shell automatically belong to the same process group as the shell, so if the shell exits, so do any other processes in its group since the shell is normally the process to create or own that particular process group id. (This last paragraph has been all an aside so don't worry if you don't have a clue what I'm on about 'cause you're not the only one :o) )

== Restoring a process ==

If you suspend a process, or job, as mentioned above, you can start another process while you have a process suspended. You can also have more than one process suspended at a time. This means that when you type fg it will bring up the last program you suspended. However you may want to bring up a job you suspended a while back, which isn't the last job you suspended. (Confusing huh?:o))

To see a list of the jobs or processes you have suspended at any time, type jobs at the prompt. On the left of the list of programs on each line you will see a number in brackets. This is the number of that job. To unsuspend that particular job you type fg followed by a % sign and the number of the job. Agus this will do the trick :o)

In the following example I check what jobs I have running and then bring one of them into the foreground (that's what fg stands for..):

prompt$ jobs
[1] - 63132 suspended (signal) mutt
[2] + 63142 suspended slrn
prompt$ fg slrn
[2] - continued slrn
prompt$ <cokane@prodigy ZSH emacs 16:58>

In the above example, if I were to restore slrn by its job number I would type:
fg %2

As an aside, the (signal) bit beside mutt means it was suspended by a signal. This is exactly what CTRL Z does. It sends a signal to a program telling it to stop.

== Background jobs ==

Some programs might take a while to run before printing anything, or they may not print anything at all...

With programs like these it seems a waste to let the shell just sit there waiting for them to finish when you could be heying friends or doing something else. There's a solution to this: run them in the background. You already saw the shell command fg which puts a suspended program back running in the foreground. Well there's a corresponding command to run a program in the background .. that's right.. bg :o)

bg works exactly the same as fg in that it takes a program name or job number as it's argument.

That's pretty much all there is to running jobs in the background. You can also explicitly tell a program to run in the background by appending an ampersand to the command, like so:

== Killing Processes ==

Don't worry, it's not as evil as it sounds ;o) Sometimes you might not be able to quit a program, or log out properly. A program you're running might have gone into a loop and you mightn't be able to quit out of it, or you might be telnetting or SSHing into redbrick from work or home and you might get logged out because your mam plugged out the phone line or your boss reefed you dossing or something equally unfortunate and when you log back in you see that you're still logged in and you want to log out of that other session.

Well what you can do is you can kill that process; basically this is a fancy way of saying you can close the program down. To do this you just type ps at the prompt. This is slightly different to the jobs command as it shows the processes running under your username, wheras jobs just shows what jobs are suspended in that particular shell session.

When you type ps -fU yourUserName you will see the rightmost column tells you the name of the process. You will see that for each time you are logged in you are running the shell program, bash, zsh or whatever. The leftmost column you will see is called PID. This stands for Process ID, that is the number associated with that process.

To kill a particular process just type kill -9 followed by the process number. The -9 means that the process will be closed immediately, it doesn't give it a chance to shut down by itself, it just closes it down as soon as the command is run. In the next example I show the output of ps then I kill one of my processes.. slrn :

prompt$ ps -u
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND
cokane 66980 0.0 0.2 1260 1036 pi Ss 5:22PM 0:00.24 -zsh (zsh)
cokane 68730 0.0 0.3 1620 1324 pi T 5:36PM 0:00.02 slrn
cokane 68741 0.0 0.0 388 220 pi R+ 5:36PM 0:00.00 ps -u

prompt$ ps
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
66980 pi Ss 0:00.24 -zsh (zsh)
68730 pi T 0:00.02 slrn
68749 pi R+ 0:00.00 ps

prompt$ kill -SIGKILL 68730
[1] + killed slrn

prompt$

As you see above I run ps twice. The first time I run it with the 'u' switch. As you see this gives more detail about processes such as the amount of CPU time and memory that they are taking up.

'''Command''' shows the name of the process..

'''Time''' shows how long the process has been running so far. Notice here that zsh seems to only have been running for 24 seconds..This is because the shell itself rarely does much work other than forking off processes.

'''Stat''' shows the status of that particular process. Now most of these symbols are a mystery to me but I know that 'I' means it's on idle, and 'R' means it's running.. or something :o)

'''TT''' is the name of the terminal the process is associated with, if any. In this case I am logged on from /dev/ttypi and all my processes are associated with this terminal.

'''PID''' is the process id of that particular process. In the spirit of throwing in asides (which are often inaccurate) in this article I'll point out that the Linux version of kill doesn't need the pid of the process you want to kill. You can simply pass the name of a process to kill in Linux and it will kill it (assuming you are root or you own the process). There is a Linux-alike version of kill on FreeBSD but normal kill on FreeBSD doesn't support this as far as I know...

You see in the above example that when a process gets killed (or finishes itself), the shell will print that the process has finished or has been killed. In the above example you can see that it shows the job number in square brackets, then the reason the process returned (that it was killed) and the name of the process.

== Signals ==

Now I will (attempt to) explain signals in UNIX...

As you saw above, when I ran kill I passed it the argument of -SIGKILL or -KILL (whether or not you leave in the SIG part is up to you, some versions of kill might mind not having it though..). The program kill, despite it's name, is't solely cocerned with killing processes. It's main purpose is to send "signals" to processes. In the above case we send SIGKILL which is the kill signal used to kill a process.

Below I will list some of the most common signals and what they're used for. I reserve the right to be very wrong about some of them :o)

*SIGKILL
As explained already... to kill a process

*SIGTERM
Similar to SIGKILL but it won't kill the process straight away.

*SIGSTOP
This is the signal which suspends a process..

*SIGSTP
Similar to SIGSTOP, this is the signal that pressing CTRL + Z sends.

*SIGCONT
The signal sent to continue a suspended process.

*SIGTTOU
This occurs when a process running in the background attempts to write to the terminal. The process gets suspended.

*SIGTTIN
As above except occurs when process tries to read input from terminal.

*SIGHUP
The "hang up" signal, nowadays sending this to a process will cause the process (if it's a daemon) to re-read its configuration files without you having to restart the process itself.

Sometimes you will see people recommend that you type: kill -9 followed by the process id, to kill a process. This is identical to typing kill -KILL. Indeed if you type the following at the shell :
cat /usr/include/sys/signal.h |grep SIGKILL

you will see that SIGKILL is just an alias for the number 9 and the same applies for the other signals (i.e. that they are all aliased to different numbers..)

There ends my sucky sig explanation ;o)

Hopefully you've found this tutorial a bit helpful and have maybe learnt something as well from it as well.

Why Did You Choose Your Username

2009-10-24T01:04:49Z

Bunbun:

Feel free to add an an entry about your username below!



==[[User:AngelKat|AngelKat]]==

Drusilla picked it...

==[[User:art_wolf|art_wolf]]==

Cool picture I have hanging up. Have had it for ages and its by Art Wolfe.

==[[User:atlas|atlas]]==

I originally handed in my student card, and said "Use my first name, please". I got an email later giving me my username as 'James' ( my middle name ). When I asked them to change, I decided to go with something a little cooler. I had been up for hours before that playing Mechwarrior somethingorother, and the Atlas mech was my favourite. I also, occasionally, feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders.

==[[User:Attol|Attol]]==
My name, but backwards.

==[[User:bilco|bilco]]==

Cause as a fresher I though it was the character's name from The Hobbit

==[[User:bunbun|bunbun]]==
It's kinda from my surname, in a way...
Also elephant made me.

==[[User:cain|cain]]==

I always thought Cain got a raw deal. Firstborn son of Adam, built the first city on earth and he's remembered for allegedly killing his brother Abel though the evidence is, to put it mildly, unconvincing and God was clearly biased against him. When I joined Redbrick, Cain was gone so I got Caine, which was the spelling of the name in an RPG I played at the time. Dropped the 'e' in my second year.

==[[User:calyx|calyx]]==
Misread the name of a song. In a perfect world, I would have been calx.

==[[User:cambo|cambo]]==

An abbreviation of sorts on my surname (campbell)... original eh?

==[[User:cammy|cammy]]==

I was using it as a web handle long before I joined Redbrick. It comes from the name of one of my first roleplaying characters that wasn't just a bunch of stats. The name for that roleplaying character though, came from the computer game Streetfighter 2.

Well actually cammy was my second choice. I would have liked to use The_Dead_One but that exceeds the 8 character limit.

==[[User:carri|carri]]==
I wanted giggleberry but its too long. So me being my epically cool self just used my actual 'name'.

==[[User:coconut|coconut]]==

On Clubs and Socs Day 2005 I was put on the spot while joining Redbrick (LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WAS)! It went a little something like this:

atlas: "Okay, and pick a username." 
Me: "What... now?!" 
atlas: "Yes." 
Me: "Right now?!?" 
atlas: "Yes." 
Me: "Errr.." *looks down at the free chocolate being given away - notices the wrappers and ingredients* "Em.. coconut?" 
atlas: "kk lol fag" 
Me: "I'll change it later!" 

That last part was, evidently, a lie.

==[[User:colmmacc|colmmacc]]==
I was assigned the username colmmacc for the purposes of my first ever internet account (and job), colmmacc@clubi.ie , way back when in 1995/6 (I think). Ever since, I've used it for all my accounts and it works at every domain on which I hold an account. Despite the huge coincidence, my username is fact not just a mere contracted concatonation of my real name "Colm MacCarthaigh", but is fact an acronym. It stands for "Colm's On-Line Memetic Mechanism [for] Accessing Complicated Computers".

==[[User:cooker3|cooker3]]==
It is my username for the lab machines in the CA building, it's not to do with an obcession with cookers!

==[[User:credak|credak]]==
Originally I wanted creadak (notice the extra a), cause Crea Dak was a character I had on Guild wars. I wrote it down, and the admins left out the extra a. I kinda like it better this way now...

==[[User:david|david]]==
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.

==[[User:doc|DoC]]==
It's the initials of my real name. I've been called DoC in real life by friends, family, etc, for as long as I can remember.

==[[User:drag0n|drag0n]]==
Friends in college said that I needed a nickname, probably because they're too lazy to say my full name "Diarmuid" and I find "Diarm" quite creepy, so basically, "dragon" popped into their heads and it stuck! I used be called siphi (for no particular reason, it was a random name I was known by onli ne), then changed to drag0n (with a zero). The zero is because the user "dragon" is allready taken on rb. But everyone loved the new name so I added the zero. If you hey the other dragon, you generally get a confused hey in response, so I generally have heys disabled. anyways...

==[[User:dramabob|dramabob]]==
When I signed up, along with everyone else in known history, back in 2004 I honestly can't remember being asked to pick a username. Imagine my surprise when later that week I got an email telling me my username was "roibeard" (er, my first name). Boo-urns. I approached one of the Kings Of Redbrick ([[User:Dizer|dizer]], [[User:Atlas|atlas]] or [[User:Phaxx|phaxx]], can't remember which) and asked to change my username to the much cooler sounding "silentbob" of "Clerks" fame (and several other, less good, movies). Further boo-urns ensued when t'was revealed that "silentbob" had one character too many, so having joined DCU Drama in addition to RB, I opted to go with "dramabob" - thus was born dramabob. w00t. I admit to being miffed upon hearing that both "bob" and "bobb" were already used up, but found out many many years later that "bobb" was a next door neighbour of mine in my long lost childhood in the mid 1970's. Bizarre.

==[[User:dregin|dregin]]==
The lead guitarist with the Backyard Babys' name is dregen[sic]. I took it and stuck an x on the end for a few years as a forum alias but then knocked off the x. tada!!

==[[User:drusilla|drusilla]]==
My nick was surprisingly enough, from the character on Buffy! Friends of mine in second year of school gave it to me when they noticed the similarities between myself and the insane vampire. Funnily, dru was my second nick on RedBrick, before that I was zerocool

==[[User:elmer|elmer]]==
My username came from my first ever email address(elmer@clubi.ie) which i chose based on the looney tunes character elmer fudd

==[[User:exzantia|exzantia]]==
As many, many people have pointed out, my name seems like a random string of letters, and it kinda is... When I was signing up for a Yahoo mail account in '98 everything I tried was already taken. I was not having under-scores or numbers so I decided to come up with something that would always be available! I thus far have succeeded.

==[[User:eondev|eondev]]==
I use a different username elsewhere but decided it was time for a change. I always liked the word Eon and I started to develop (dev) an MMORPG around the time I was joining redbrick so I chose EonDev. Yes, horribly boring but /shrug

==[[User:fatwa|fatwa]]==

In first year, whilst learning to program, my friend Andrew wrote a program that printed out "That's a fatwa on you, mein freund".
I thought it was funny and it must have stuck in my head for redbrick registering. Also, it's short for "fat wanker".

==[[User:fox_chic|fox_chic]]==

Cause I'm an xphile and Mulder's first name is Fox. :)

==[[User:gizmo|gizmo]]==
My nick came from a combination of thinking gizmo was a pretty cool name due to that little flurry critter in Gremlins and also cns putting me on the spot on Clubs And Socs day when I first joined so that I couldn't think of anything else. Strange, but true.

==[[User:gary|gary]]==
Well, my original name was garyod and there was wordplay went around with that *cough*gayrod*cough*, so I got it changed to my actual name :)
==[[User:gavin|gavin]]==
I needed a username I wouldn't forget and seeing as Gavin was written on my underpants I decided to use that. Handy quinkadink that it is also my real name eh !

==[[User:gmblitis|gmblitis]]==
Would've been gamblitis but for those dam restrictions!so the idea came in the first place came from my unhealthy obsession with horses and cards!

==[[User:gw|gw]]==
They are my initials.

==[[User:hauk|hauk]]==
Well, I got put on the spot when I first went to play UT in secondary school(We used to play it on the old shitty computers they had, at lunch time). So Dalamar from #intersocs, who was in my school, started to lose the plot with player12, and shouted at player12 to change his/her name. So I tried to think of a good name. And at the time I was reading Stormblade from the Dragonlance series, and Hauk was a ranger in that book. So I eh "temporarily" used the name.. It wasn't meant to stick! But I like it now ^_^

==[[User:hurl|hurl]]==
My second name is Hurrell and people cant pronouce it so I went by hurl. Turns out Hurrell was originally Hurl, you know, in the old country, so its my family name. No, I dont have a vomit fetish, but I'm always open to new experiences :P

==[[User:ian|ian]]==

Its my name JACKASS!

==[[User:jesjes|jesjes]]==
My name is Jessica. And people from home call me Jesi, and at some stage during sixth year I decided I liked Jess much more. So when I got THE INTERNETS, I just called myself jesjes. It stuck.

==[[User:johan|johan]]==

Was given this nick when a German Assistant in Secondary School tried to pronounce my name, Eoghan, and came out with Johan, and it stuck

==[[User:keloe|keloe]]==

I wrote down kehoe, my surname and an old nickname, on the slip. However, due to my incapability to write h's correctly, the admins read it as keloe.

==[[User:kpodesta|kpodesta]]==

Because that's my real name. I thought Redbrick was some email yoke - all else fails, I was getting a decent email address.

==[[User:lil_cain|lil_cain]]==

Wanted lil_cian, as he is the smaller Cian, it was mistyped.

At this point, I've grown quite fond of it. Unlike lil_cian, it makes me almost unique on the internet.

==[[User:lithium|lithium]]==

Coz I like the sound of it. And coz it goes crazy when you put it in water. And not because of the Nirvana song.

==[[User:macbain|macbain]]==
He wanted the username 'mcbain' but Karlos (mcbain) got it before him. Being original, Sarv decided that macbain would do instead, so he could forever confuse new users between himself and Karl.

==[[User:marvin|marvin]]==
There are three references here : Starvin Marvin from South Park, Marvin The Paranoid Android from Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy and Marvin the Martian from the Warner Bros cartoon. I'll leave it to the reader to decide which one was the greatest influence (hint: it wasn't Starvin Marvin).

==[[User:merchelo|merchelo]]==
On a school trip back when I was young, sitting in an italian hotel, talking to the chef about football, he suddenly asked my name, and he couldn't pronounce my surname, Maxwell, so he decided to italianiase my name, by calling me Roberto Merchello, I thought the name was cool, and started to use it in championship manager, and after registering with the most shittest nick ever, "partyb" I changed it to the 8 char nick, merchelo.

==[[User:mo|mo]]==
Due to my considerable soccer talent, I was nicknamed "mo" after Mo Johnston, the scottish football hero.

==[[User:MoJu|MoJu]]==
It's in a similar vein to HoJu(Homer Junior) from the Simpsons. Given to me by a someone on a forum after they saw a picture of me and thought I was someone named Mordeth. So they suggested Mordeth Junior which was then condensed to MoJu. I then adopted it as my second online nick.

==[[User:montoya|montoya]]==

The name is that of a character from the book "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman. The specific character is Inigo Montoya, a Spanish swordsman out for revenge against a 6-fingered man who killed Inigo's father.

==[[User:moridin|moridin]]==

The most evil and therefore cool character in a series of books that I was reading. Said series of books has since degenerated into a mush of crap writing. Boo.

==[[User:nanaki|nanaki]]==

Used the name on forums for a while, first thing that came to mind when signing up. Favourite character from FF7. And no, I didn't use a soft.

==[[User:nit|niT]]==
Originally my name was a combination of many words that described me, and was dreamt up whilst I was at college in Aylesbury. It all started when I got a demo copy of Diablo from my cousin in Singapore, and us lads built our first LAN at my mate Dave's house. We also played Carmegeddon, the Star Wars game and Quake 2 (of which my mate Dave had a 600mhz processor and TWO 3dfx cards linked up in parallell - he was our God). It was necessary for me to have a character name in Diablo so I chose Nitsuj Buaya Chen, the latter two meaning 'Crocadile man that snaps up ladies' (in Singapore slang) and monkey (as my star sign is golden monkey). I later joined a CS clan called Black Legion and people naturally shortened my name down to nit. At that time I also had a friend who was called 'kippy' in real life and online, so I started using nit in real life too. Later I joined a 'talker' called theManor which was a twin site to the LambdaMoo, there was a guy there who set it all up and went by the nick 'beN', he and girlfriend sadly died in a car accident and so manor spods paid tribute but capitalising the final letter of their nick, hence why I use niT.

==[[User:noelfitz|noelfitz]]==

8 letter truncation of my real name (boring but true.)

==[[User:noodlez|noodlez]]==

Shorter version of one of my most commonly used user names. I picked that one before when I needed a quick username for an IRC channel and I was eating a bowl of noodles.

==[[User:ornat|ornat]]==

You'd have to ask my parents that question. Ornat is my real name, and unlike popular belief, no, I am not a guy!

==[[User:p|p]]==

Back the old days of IOL/Indigo's IRC servers I used a variety of names, which all began with the letter p. Eventually, I ditched the different nicknames and used ^P^. Redbrick doesn't support weird characters though, so now it's just p. It also happens to be my middle initial.

==[[User:Paddez|Paddez]]==
Used to use the name Paddee on various other online communities/games, Wanted an Irish sounding name so I settled on the variation of Paddy with 2 E's instead of the Y. When signing up for Redbrick the person who took down my name either misheard me or I said it wrong, whatever the reason i am now an Irish-Mexican that goes by the name of Paddez

==[[User:phaxx|phaxx]]==

Originally from the character Lord Fax in the book [http://www.google.com/search?q=dragonriders+of+pern Dragonriders Of Pern] by Anne McCaffrey. I used Lord_Fax in [http://research.microsoft.com/vwg/projectsheets/comicchat.htm MS Comic Chat] for a while. I saw somebody using a 'ph' instead of an 'f', and thought, in that usual 13-year-old way, OMGZ COOL, and promptly became LordPhaxx.
I was LordPhaxx for a few years, until until around 16 when I met a bunch of other Irish nerds one afternoon. [[User:jerry|jerry]] was among them, and commented, "With a name like LordPhaxx, I expected you to be taller."

So er, I dropped the pretentious 'Lord', and I've been 'phaxx' ever since.

See, nothing to do with fax machines! :)

==[[User:receive|receive]]==

It was Michelle Smith (swallow) that dragged me along to sign up during first year, so I'd handed over my 4euro before I'd begun to think of a username, so I turned and said "Shit, Michelle, what will I pick?" and she suggested "receive" because it went so well with swallow. Stupidly I agreed, and it stuck (after we found a spell checker to check how to spell it that is), so i never changed it to anything better. Ironically, i never have been at the receiving end of swallows abilities.

==[[User:r0b|r0b]]==
Rob is my name *shock* *gasp* rob was taken so used r0b instead. Amazing story tbh

==[[User:robby|robby]]==

its short for robert...thats cool no?

==[[User:ru|ru]]==

I really had no clue what I wanted to have as my username so just picked my most used nick name - ru...short for Ruaidhri...

==[[User:sandman|sandman]]==

I didn't. It was assigned on the basis that a) I was asleep and b) I read comics, didn't I? Ironically, I hadn't read much Sandman at the time.

==[[User:scraib|scraib]]==

I'm from Kilkenny and 'ScrÃ¡ib' is the Irish for 'Cat-Scratch'! 'Tis a very GAA name, but to be honest I could never play hurling so I picked it really cause it sounded cool...

==[[User:shimoda|shimoda]]==

It was a character in a book (Illusions by Richard Bach) I read during my formative years. Another rb user thought the description of the protagonist was suited to me so I nabbed the name.

==[[User:singer|singer]]==

I was a singer in a band. The guitarist mocked me for being the singer by calling me "singer". The nickname stuck. Non-Redbrick people address me as singer! My 2nd choice username was "scano".

==[[User:spanner|spanner]]==

In fact eeh! picked it out during the hay days of eeh gift grub and in fairness now sometimes im a bit of a spanner.

==[[User:spock|spock]]==

I chose spock because I had no idea that it would follow me around for at least the next 10 years.
I didn't even know what Redbrick was when I was joining, and when I had a membership form thrust
in my face by Hyper on Freshers day 1996, we had three preferences for username. I put down "spock" as my first preference. It wasn't taken, and that is how I didn't end up with the username "data", or "benji".

==[[User:Steef|Steef]]==

When i joined games soc i chose the name of character i liked from a game as my user name, but it ended up with allot of people thinking my real name was steve :( .

==[[User:svan|svan]]==

Sarunas Vancevicius. First letter of name, then first 3 letters from surname.

==[[User:Taurus|Taurus]]==

It is my star sign, so I just went with that. Sounds cool enough. :-)

==[[User:thedara|thedara]]==

My nick was given to me years before redbrick on irc (irc.phishy.net) I was the first person some americans had met called Dara and they
found that interesting for some reason or other and hence I became thedara.
On redbrick irc i'm known as Darz0re, It was a in-joke at the time when myself and dizer stuck z0re at the end of out names
hence thez0rekorp.com and z0re.org

==[[User:tnkrbell|tnkrbell]]==

As a kid my dad used to always call me Belle.When I got older and after many trips to Disney I took a loving to the mischiefious tinkerbell from Peter Pan. Tinkerbell though was too long so JesJes decided on tnkrbell instead.

==[[User:train|train]]==

It's a shortened version of a gaming nickname I use.

==[[User:tyro|tyro]]==

It means: A beginner in learning something.

==[[User:undone|undone]] ==

Couldn't think of anything on Clubs & Socs day, so for about 2 days my username was my actual name. Then I picked this, because of the Weezer song, but also because I think it's a nice word.

==[[User:Urizen|Urizen]]==

A God from one of William Blake's epic poems. Thought it sounded epic, so that seemed right.

==[[User:werdz|werdz]]==

A long time ago in a net cafe far, far away, a sexy asian friend by the name of quank said "Hey Andrew, stop using the name andrew in CS. Use werdna instead. It's andrew only backwards!" - That lasted about five minutes until people got bored trying to pronounce it ("OMG! WERDNA! QUIT TK'ING YOU NOOB!") and just started shouting werdz instead ("OMG! WERDZ! QUIT TK'ING YOU NOOB!"). And that's my life story up until this point.

==[[User:wilburt|wilburt]]==

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)

Bunbun:
