I bend, shape and contort Linux to do many different things in very simple ways and to meet my needs and the needs of others. So, LinuxBender.
I only use this in one other place. I have hundreds of nicks / handles / aliases to reflect my moods at the time.
My name is Dave, and Fiat Lux Research was my first startup. It is Latin for "Let there be light". Among the other things I learned was: don't name your startup in Latin! We got really tired of spelling the name to every single person we talked to. Vendors would think we were a subsidiary of Fiat Motors or similar.
Well, I have a giraffe, and I ride it. I've also ridden other giraffes.
So, well, RiderOfGiraffes.
Is this a handle you use all over? A lot of times people will say "contact me at handle at gmail" or some such thing. I'm curious to know whether HN handles are used all over, or are special use for HN.
Same as my GitHub handle, named after [redacted]
On a relatively small platform like HN, it seems like lots of handles that are taken @gmail, @yahoo, etc. would still be available here. I imagine [redacted] isn’t available on most public platforms?
Yeah. I just use first name, last name for most sites since it's fairly unique.
