        How about "1.21 Gigawatts / Power Programmer"?

            Has anyone else noticed a new trend in UserID names here? There are a number of individuals using the format "Name / xxx programmer". I truly inspire greatness. :)

                            I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

                                    You'll find the pirate programmer on the coasts of Somalia after work. :)

                                    Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
                                    Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

                                      I'd say you'd be more honest going the route of Jim Crafton / TiVo Programmer ;P //L
