it has been 0 days since a journalist asked me if foone was my real name
-
@foone is Schema the guy who types up the cards?
-
@lydiafacts probably
-
@foone Before my name was Rabbit journalists kept asking me that and saying they couldn't cite me because I wouldn't let them use my legal name. Now it's my legal name and none have asked. I am disappoint.
-
@ra6bit awww!
-
@foone alright I need to make a site with counters where people reset them. No pii no login just 4 digit pin to reset a counter.
-
@grumpasaurus that's actually on my todo list, making a site (and a device) like that. I make this joke so much, I might as well
-
@foone it's actually a method I use for legitimate milestones I have on some of my colleagues performance evaluations.
"3 months where I don't need to log into xxx tool to aid in investigating a live issue" something along those lines.
-
@grumpasaurus yeah, I've used it the same way at previous jobs
-
@foone
I've always wondered - is the origin from "Fork/Spoon" or something even cooler? -
@JessTheUnstill It's "FOO" (as in the metasyntactic variable, comes from a nonsense word in a 1930s comic strip) plus "NE" from a Commodore 64 glitch
-
@foone If the front says "foone", does the back say "boone"?
-
@scy Nope. But I did think about making my middle name "barne" at one point, to continue the foo/bar theme
-
@foone Oh, so _that_ is where Baz Luhrmann got his name from!
-
@scy exactly!
-
@HoustonDog @dan hah! nice trick

@foone i changed my name in 1984 to a "one name" format.
since 2000, i have had to invent a "first name" to satisfy computers and other folks who can't comprehend a person who has only one name.
-
@HybridElephant yeah, I worried about the same problems when I changed my name! I have a "lastname" just because I have to, my name is actually just "foone"
