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".

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Nas · Posted

      FWIW this whole 'universal printer driver' challenge has been around since the 1990's! Back in the day it was ADOBE that held the mantle via their portable document format (PDF) which provided the most fidelity between your-layout and your-printer's-capabilities. By the 2000s, Microsoft went with XML-defined formats -- namely XPS. Alongside the [possibly transient] format, and combined with USB standards, the document driver models were evolving. A new generation of hardware adopting different/outdated security models prevented Microsoft from 'forcing' the industry to utilize a single 'Universal' printer driver. Every major OS generation (and obsolescence of older hardware/vendors) moved the needle further along... until 3D Printers (esp. by mid-2010s) changed the maths again! While standard documents had attained sufficient compatibility across OS + printer scenarios (and the slow death of Fax support), there were two major shakers to the hopeful calm: open 3d model formats, and subscription-based printer resourcing (HP and Epson are mostly guilty here). With a sense of calm in the printing industries (whatever is left), there's hope for another push for standardized printer hardware drivers... until another printer hardware trend wrecks havoc and custom drivers become requirements...

      Can you tell me what the difference between the Moto G and the Moto G Stylus is? They look similar.
