( FabienA380, if you can, please move this thread to "Board") Well, since I've been asked by a curious member, I'll describe here what you see. Name: I'm a fan of baroque music, I was just listening to some when I had to think of a screen name for this forum. Previous Avatar: Bach is one of my favourite baroque composers. Current Avatar: It's a poster from EVE Online, depicting the Gallente Federation theme. I did have a similar one for the old forum as well. EVE Online is a spaceship MMORPG created by CCP Games (Iceland, you're big! ), that I used to play during my uni days. These days, I get to play only if I have some time to spare. Why the change? Well, I get bored of some things if left unchanged for too long, and I've decided to change my avatar every few hundred posts. And despite my thing for baroque music, I do love a variety of other stuff as well, like EDM (I'm actually trying to create some myself, but I don't think I want anyone to hear it yet...lol!)

Jkkw may I please ask you how you chose your username? (if stays secret it's okay!!) JKKW are my initials and if anyone is wondering, the double K in the middle is because my middle name(s) are an anglicised version of my chinese name (both my parents are from Hong Kong although they migrated to Australia before I was born).

The story of my name is very simple. It is the name of one of my horses. I breed horses and it was one rather famous one here in Iceland. As horses have a shorter life span than we, it has been dead foe a while and I have only fond memories left.

It was a good idea to revive this thread !
I choose 'philidor' as a tribute to François-André Danican Philidor, the world's greatest XVIIIth century chess champion, and a notorious French musician. I would not dare impersonate Philidor on a chess forum, but I found it acceptable on an aviation forum.

Cool thread!
If you know the guy who runs the AIB Family Flights project you will get what my nickname is. I choose it to be 'professional'. 😅
I do want to point out though that normally I will use 'cosmicstar23' as the username on the Interwebs. The story behind that is that I used to be heavily into Trance music when I was in High School and I was creating my own music and mixes under the alias DJ Cosmicstar. 23 is the day of the month I was born.
Now you know how to stalk me 😂
