"David_V," well, that's my initials and a bit more.

My only "real" use of it was here in the BZFlag world, I think. Sometimes things are very easy.
"smalltux," something I made up rather quickly at some point. I use Linux, which explains the "tux" part. As for the "small" part, it just came to me. I tried to register some others before that, however. Anyway - small, stuffed tuxes are cute you know.
I have been using my new nickname for some time before this - on some IRC channels, e-mail and IM accounts. Somebody told me it had a nice ring to it, so did I, and there we go!
(Now though, some people tell me that they liked my old one better. Screw them!

)
