Ghosty?

What would be a better way to start this blog then to explain a bit the how and why of my nickname.

My nickname was originally Ghost, refering to the package created by symantec.
At the time I found this one of the best software packages around (times around the windows 9x era)

Since this nickname was usually taken on irc and it sounded a bit unfriendly I changed it to Ghosty.
Over time however I discovered that the nickname had even more meanings than I realised at the time that I started using it.

  • if you transform my nickname a bit it sounds like my real last name.
  • furthermore is a ghost a creature that wanders around places and I am wandering around the wonderful internet.
  • ghost-hour: usually you still find me awake during these hours due to my pc addiction.
  • I use the word “geestig” a lot (free translation ghost-like, in dutch this means funny)
