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. | Back the old days of IOL/Indigo's IRC servers I used a variety of names, which all began with the letter p.

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. [[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! :) | |||
