Bosco Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 big red... hmm has been a nickname for years, but only a username for the last year or so. the nickname came from football. 6'2" 240lb wide reciever, red jersey, red pants, red helmets. came from someone writing for the highschool news paper. I still have the article and picture framed on the wall of my office me running over some poor little corner back from clarkston... too bad the same goof that wrote the article also said I was playing fullback (which was what the roster said... since I still wore #42 and had played 3 years prior in the backfield I guess he was kinda right) I was thinking it came from the gum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I started using my username because I was fedup of my old one! OCC is the first page I registered with it, I was sitting at the keyboard trying to figure out a new username for myself when I saw my hat with the the three letters on it! Figured it was different since everybody knows what it means [i hope] even though it's written in chemical symbols! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

acecafe Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I worked on the navigation and information avionics for the YF23 Advanced Tactical Fighter team. When the system booted up normally the readout in hexadecimal was 1ACECAFE. When we'd discuss the status of the hardware we would just say we are 1ACECAFE and everyone associated with the project understood. I dropped the 1 and became acecafe.
