Glassed Silver

It started when I was a lot younger and wanted to redesign my room from mostly wood to a more modern (call it "appleish") concept with a lot of glass, white, silver and some black.

I liked how it turned out and also during the days when making the plans I came up with the idea to look for a new username to go with my new personal style.

I wanted something unique and I like the physical weirdness of Silver being "glassed".

@Astra.Xtreme:

I see you like Opel / Vauxhall! :p

Excellent, me approves.

We've had Opels for ages and I liked them.

One of them was a former police car! :shiftyninja:

The gun boxes in the front doors were "civilized" to be big store away boxes -> that was quite kicka** as I always adored a bunch of pockets and boxes around me :laugh:

Back years ago when I was a mod here, there wa another mod named Sanctified :)

At that time, I had the name finalcut as username. And one day, Sanctified decided that I should rename Pink Floyd hehe. I had nothing to say and he decided to change it :D

Well as for my actual username, I guess I don't need to explain the meaning :p

nb.: thanks sanc!

The first time I had to sign up for something I was playing the game MegaTravellar. The first release of the game, which I had, it had Traveller misspelled as Travellar, which I thought was cool and unique, so I adopted it. Later shortened to Travelar when I had an 8 character limit on Unix systems. it just kind of stuck over the years.

When I first signed up for dial-up in the mid 90's I had to choose an account name. Monkey Island was on my desk so I chose monkey. Apparently 12 other people has already done that so I got monkey13.

Used it ever since. For a while people thought it was to do with 12 Monkeys but it is just that I'm too lazy to change it and I've never thought up a good replacement.

From your logo, you must be a fan of "The Prisoner".

Do you know who "Number One" is? It is in the series...Episodes 12 and the Last one.

I picked "gary owen" from the Irish drinking song used by the 7th Cav.

I was in a different cav unit.

The "006" is for comical effect. It is actually an inverted "9OO".

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
