My name is short for nomdegurre which is french for "warname"
My nomdegurre is "nomde" yours is "eskimo". My real name is Mark which stands for "warlike" and I figured nomdegurre would be a cool twist.

I'm not going to bother you with basics of Slavic languages (Czech language) and with this already in mind I have chosen my nick to be as much English as possible and still representing my nick in Czech language... My whole nick is 'MadBirdCZ' . I prolly don't have to explain first two words (Mad & Bird) and the CZ at the end stands for CZech Republic

How did I recieved my nick that in czech looks like: 'Sileny (mad) ptak (bird)' ? Well it was faaaar back in time when AMIGAs ruled the world... There was a WW1 flight sim that could be played over serial cable.... (was it 'Knights Of The Sky' ??? really can't remember well now) but I used to play it alot against my friends and my lovely technique of killing them was droping bomb on their head while dogfighting.... Then there was a game called 'TURBO RAKETTI' (oh how do I miss this one

) we used to play it a lot too.... and I was always wining... and then I can't tell who was the first one to start call me that but it happened and the word MAD found its place in front of my fpormer nick that was just a BIRD... (bird was derived from my surname which stands for a name of a bird)...

Naso · « **Reply #21 on:** September 05, 2001, 02:03:00 AM »

Naso means "nose" (italian language), has been my nickname since I was young.

I always asked myself why they called me that way.

Mora is a Swedish knife brand. Local gypsies here use them a lot in "public relations" both vocally and physically.

Staga is a slangword for icehockey stick. Got that nickname 15-20 years ago when we were playing icehockey.

straffo · « **Reply #26 on:** September 05, 2001, 03:17:00 AM »

straffo mean really nothing (well it has something to do with my teddy bear when I was young but I won't explain further it's personnal

and it's also related to my love for a strange US plane with 2 engines and an abnormal number of 12.7mm (0.50) in the nose )

smurtz mean ... sCHmurtz with a typing error (yeah ...I'm a dweeb

)
SCHmurtz equal in computing science (in france) to a "whatever" "something not clearly defined" "a piece of rotten whatever" if permit to define the level of schmurtzification of a project (depending on the input of the marketting dept. and some other 4th dimension factor) the schmurtzification level help to define the schmurtzen code the about to be schmurtzen code and the un-schmurtzen code (pretty rare in fact).

schmurtzen code : code rotten beyond all recognition (aka fubar code aka it work but nobody can say why or it fail and nobody can say ... why ...).

Some math with schmurtzen logic and the basic schmurtz properties :

schmurtz² = schmurtz² or whatever
schmurtz * schmurtz = schmurtz² (sometime)
(schmurtz / schmurtz) * schmurtz = schmurtz

(but it's not sure until further test)

schmurtz - schmurtz = schmurtz or 0 (depend if the 1st schmurtz is equal or not to the 2nd and depend strongly of the schmurtzification level )

Don't forget a schmurtzen variable has is own life and behaviour in a project and is not allways called schmurtz but can be hidden under a "innocent" variable name and cause acces violation without any evident/logical reason.

The schmurtz can be used with a pifometre
for further explanation look at this page (use an online translator if you are not french) http://www.anat-online.com/pages/delires/pifometre.html

deSelys · « **Reply #28 on:** September 05, 2001, 05:07:00 AM »

Flt Lt J. de Selys Longchamps DFC

Belgian pilot flying a Typhoon at 609 West Riding Squadron RAF.

He attacked alone (and against orders...) the Gestapo building in Brussels. He got an award but also got demoted for this...

He died on the night of 16 Aug 1943 while returning of a night intruder mission above France. He crashed during final approach. The plane wreck showed flak damage.

For those visiting Brussels, a commemorative monument (bust) can be seen in front of the former gestapo building, in the 'avenue Louise - Louizalaan'.

Using his name as handle was my (modest) way to show my respect and consideration for this brave man.
