About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

"internal" is a Oracle system account. I didn't want to use my name (or any variation). I have used a variety of nicknames while online. But, I never really felt attached to any of them. So, I tried a new one. I looked down on my desk and saw "internal" and thought "that sounds OK." Now that I have had it for a while, I really don't like this one either, but it looks like I am stuck with it.
