What is the origin of your username/nickname?
What is the origin of your username/nickname?
This has probably been asked before but I wanted to add another layer/an alternative.
So, I ask, where did your username/pseudonym/nickname originate from? What's the meaning behind it?
Or alternatively, which is the most creative/interesting nickname origin you have come across?
You're viewing a single thread.
Mine stands for "Divided by Zer0", based on the programming error "division by zero". Amusingly, people keep assuming it stands for "database zero" or "dragonball zero".
I know this, but I still always read it as "bulldozer" for some reason.
TIL. I don't know why I never questioned that or the instance name.
Holy shit you're the guy. Keep being based.
Are you friends with count zero :-) ?
Another computer error.
Aw man, a great William Gibson reference.
Hah no never heard of them :D
From Willian Gibsons (the guy who coined 'Cyberspace') book Count Zero, if you put zero on the interrupt on address zero you'll just get stuck in an neverending cycle.
And it was the chosen nick of Bobby in the book.
Ah right, that did sound familiar been decades since I read that book 😅
