I always thought a little mystery was good for both sides: she knows not if I have a small dick, I know not if she has no tits; la, la, la.. .. as to multiple "Attila the Hun" accounts, I probably have as good as any original stake on the name as far as the net goes: --Bell Labs hung it on me in the mid 70s when I was doing some contract work on the unix kernal for Western Electric for the spook show. The name stuck, and why bother to change? Other than the fact the nudist might be a real loser, I could care less about a nym; there are multiple users on other nyms (for all we know, Tim May is a nym and the name is common); you can usually guess by context who is who. how many of us have actually seen each other face to face (who would want to <g>)? so, in most cases, real names are no different than nyms in a make believe world. now, all that being said... it has been asked... "who the fuck are you?" to which I reply: "...good choice of expletives." "nobody, I guess; "well, let's see... "I have a Piled higher and Deeper in Information Techniques from Zuerich (undergrad at Harvard in dual honors physical chemistry); "I have been around since before the dawn of arpanet, probably even longer than TCMay; in fact, I was born before Franklin D. Roosevelt dusted off Wendell L. Willkie; "...but I've never held a 'job;' "I have personally coded more than a few 250,000+ line packages, which made me quite comfortable at one time, even if more than one did go down the black hole (along with countless other projects like the bit-slice hardware and firmware to replace B3500s in missle silos); "I have been the hatchet man in numerous high tech recoveries; "I have been detained for crypto offenses by the Feds; "I have been detained for 'treasonable' technology export; "I have been charged; "...a long time ago, in a land far, far away, there was more than one tour in the Corps' "deep-deep black" special operations; the battalion commanding officer for the 'Let's kill 'em all' vacant eyes, the misfits; "a combat chopper pilot; "an instrument rated multi-engine pilots license; "a rider of a 102 in. 115+ mph qtr. miler hawg on the street; "plus a few other reasons to guarantee an autobiography found on the fiction shelf." while playing Hotel California: So, who the 'fuck' am I? Just another aging 300 lb gorilla, long haired hippie, California freak, with yet another loud outlaw chopper. "Oh, yeah, I forgot, I hold a license to practice before the court in a couple European countries (not that I would waste my time...)." "So, who am I, really? "Nobody, I guess, just attila!" == "you probably will not be last, you may not be next, but you are certainly too late to have been first. --attila -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 Comment: Encrypted with 2.6.3i.
