Ok, there are a LOT of interesting screen names here on AMHD and I was wondering how you came up with yours. Some are pretty obvious but some are not. Without revealing anything too personal, share how you decided on your AMHD name... :)

I'm going to label myself as a geek (its just because I like games lol)
Static is my gamer name (StaticFX is my website)
If I told, you'd know waaay too much.
Because I can't ever think of anything clever, I use part of my first name and part of my last name.
Hmm Now I wonder ;)
All this time, I assumed you have curly hair :pQuote:

Unfortunately, the simple method is sometimes harder to achieve. A simple, elegant design is really tough.
I've been labeled as a person to create a complex design and simple ones. The complex ones may not be complex at all, but rather easy to troubleshoot.
A simple example, but it costs more. Bear in mind that lives and property were at stake and the system worked in an emergency when the lab exploded.
In an upgrade, I had a fellow PHD Chemist not care whether the wiring looked good. This doesn't help troubleshooting one bit.
I had the same Chemist ask why I could not wire a low voltage light to another panel in another room. I said everything must communicate via contact closures. One panel created a contact closure for the other panel to use. Power for the lamp, then came from the other panel.
Surprisingly, that was not considered simple. The use of a contact closure cost at least 20 extra dollars.
Reliable, simple, elegant and safe are very difficult to integrate together.
I designed a mechanical magnetic electrical probe holder which went through many revisions from proof of concept to a finished in-house use product. Not including electrical, there were 11 parts and 3 tools that had to be made to make the part. It went through various revisions and became a robust product, sometimes hand manipulated 500x per day.
Depending on the application, the design changed somewhat. As failures occurred, fixes were put into place.
On one of the parts, the vendor changed how they manufactured the probe needles and they would not go back to the original method. Fortunately, there was an agreeable method. The problem I was unable to fix with the vendor was high temperature corrosion. They would not fix it on their end because of contamination of their bath, so I had to fix it on mine.
A very neat experience.
Hello:
I just wanted something warm and cuddly.

My name is Jason Jizzle. Once I obtained my PhD, I began going by Dr. Jizzle
Fo' rizzzle, ma bizzle ;)
Mine was off my state of mind with the first question I posted.
My puppy's name and what I imagined would be her middle name, but my husband calls her Zoe Beth. Lol
I love your signature line... in a weird twisted way.Quote:

Being the next girl.
I am a female artist.. not very creative for an artist huh?
I have actually managed to hold on to this name as an alias since 1996. Been in the diesel-volkswagen game since 1993, if you don't include the fact my mom brought me home from the hospital after I was born, in a brand-spanking new 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit, diesel of course, and the same color of green as baby-food peas. I blame it on her, mostly. It's too easy not to.
My response was originally referrring to the part about the man-made god. Then I went back to read it again (because I thought it was "pure genius") and saw in the lighter shade of grey the other line. I actually laughed out loud. Pretty brilliant. :pQuote:

She still won't talk to me :(
I was wondering if she was a "cut-out" :rolleyes: Thanks for the chuckles, I needed it after a long week.Quote:

Mine was my state of mind also...
Used to be a nickname of mine
Is your real name al? Or how did it come about?
Well it stemmed from bear (which is a nickname for me hear, lol the irony ) which came about after I was playing football (soccer to the people in the US)at school and the teacher at the started calling me bear, and then one kid added al in front after a cartoon character that had his own theme tune :D and it kind of stuckQuote:

When I signed on I was only going to ask one question and then vanish so I didn't put a lot of time into thinking of a name.
Now I'm stuck with this one.
That is how we all get stuck here... just going to ask one question and be on my way...Quote:

I actually, if you can believe it used my name. Haha. And the year I was born. I was just planing on making a pass through and asking one question. Then I had to come back and find this site and find my answer then I discovered how much is here. I love it!
Yeah Adam, your name was kind of obvious! Lol I think this site is like tech-crack or something, you can't just take one hit.
Yea, I think you are right about that. Dang addictive stuff!
It was february- love month- so I wanted to put the word love in my name. I figured love was already taken so I stuck xoxo in front. I've seen a couple of people on AMHD with xo in the front of their name. Pretty weird. I also think this site is addicting.
I win for stupidest name ever. I created it when I was 13:
T=Taylor
H=Hanson
I=Is
S=Sexy
83=Year Taylor Hanson was born
84=Year I was born
Now SHUT UP!! I can hear you all laughing at me! ;)
