My name

[pontifex]

For the record, my name has nothing to do with building bridges or that bridge building software.

I had never even heard of that software until someone on this forum mentioned it.

My name comes from something in a Neal Stephenson book. We have plenty of his fans here, I'm surprised you guys don't know this.

Anyway, I'm not even sure why I used that name to begin with, I guess it just sounded cool.

I would've choosen "Pontificat0r" but that's just me. Now build me a bridge and get your ass to Mars!

It doesn't really look like you had 1,000 people saying "Wow dude, does your name have anything to do with that software?" so why did you post this?

I'm now thinking of changing my name...

What does my forum status have to do with what I said? And YOU have 7569 posts in just 7 months. Would you like to insert your other foot in your mouth yourself, or would you like some help?

Your name does have something to do with building bridges - Neal Stephenson makes a point of that when Randy and Enoch are chatting it up in the phillipine's jail.

BTW, good name choice, fantastic author.

post #4000?! This job is going to make a lifer out of me yet!

haha, I bought pontifex the bridge building game, too. Fun game, especially for nerds. Look into it, it's worth the small cost.
