Sushi night....

As there was an underwhelming amount of interest, I thought I'd double check about having sushi today. If you want to come, let me know:

Where does the name "dwivian" come from and what does it mean?
This is a long story, the short of which is a collision between a work account on the mainframes at UGA, and a chat board I was also using. The formal explaination is (D)epartment (W) [Agriculture Economics], (I)nstructor (V) Five. My actual account was DWI5, in fact. On the chat group we picked handle/nicks, and I picked "Dr. Who" until I was informed it was already taken. As the local PBS was running the Baker version, I decided on "Dr. Who 4", then in a fit of silliness after logging onto TSO one day, I changed it to "Doctor Who IV". My first chat login was STB4, and I could suffix it with three characters, often WHO, used as a subcode to invoke program events during the login process. When the TSO accounts moved to the same system as the chat program, I temporarily had DW04 (I asked for 4 to remain consistent in my head) while building some testing software. Eventually I got tired of typing out the ID on either system, and I abbreviated it to DWIV, and added the suffix IAN to mean "like DWIV", since I was not a timelord in any real sense. After leaving college this ID has remained unique enough to identify me, so I continue to use it. Unlike elfgirl, who often finds someone else has already registered her nick if she's not an early-adopter of a system.

terrilyn Should I, or should I not, seek the Holy Grail? And when I find it, shall it be the humble cup, ornate goblet, or seplechure of Christ's Bride Mary?
Stay out of my grail closet. Tregard can't have the shield, NOR the grail. And, it's really a rock.

No sushi.....

No sushi tonight, as the only interested people were going to have to rush to get a flight or good traffic...

So, we're going to get together 7:30 next Thursday, 09 March. The place is Sapporo, as before. If you want to come,and think you can make it, comment here! Thanks!
