My name comes from a game development team some friends and I are trying to form while we're still young and in school. Some of us have ideas that have been a-brewin' for nearly a decade or since when we were really young whippersnappers. Team Cosine sounds awesome and smart simultaneously.
Mine's obviously a play on "The Wanderer". However, I didn't come up with it.

During my first job when I was 13 years old, a co-worker invited me in on a telephone scam of some sort. Being both frightened and intrigued, I agreed, and he set up an e-mail address for me with the user name DaWanderer. I never heard from him after that, but I kept the e-mail address and the name!

My real name is Jeffrey, and my mom wanted to spell it Geoffrey (luckily dad didn't let her).
What's wrong with spelling it Geoffrey? That's how it's spelt over here.


There's nothing wrong with that spelling, I just personally don't like it.

All of my friends and I always associated the Geoffrey spelling with a butler with an English accent (I think it was because of Geoffrey in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air). So when my friends found out mom wanted to spell it that way, they would make some smart ass butler-ish comment:
"G'day sir, would you like some tea?".
Old counterstrike nick. Originally started as MauledMonkey after a mountain boarding accident. At the time, I was good at the game, so I changed it to be slightly more appropriate after I healed up [lol]

I took my name and replaced the space with a period.

Gaiiden's plan failed, as I've never replied to any of the other threads, it keeps this one relevant.

Yeeaaaaa... I realized that about an hour after I posted. Oh well, not complaining :P

I'll try to keep this around to quote it again in the future :).

Why bother I'll just link to this thread along with all the others when the next one pops up. So you can find it again then :P

Cool, I like that one too :). If I had to choose on a character for my user name, it be a hard decision between Arjun and Bhim.

With that bit of info aside, Kryotech is the name of my organization/company/thing that I'm not too sure what it is right now (although technically I am trying to profit from google ads by posting free content). The question is why Kryotech for the thing I'm not too sure what it is right now. Truthfully, I came up with it one day, and it stuck.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

*looks slightly embarassed*

I have no clue how or why. =P But I sure outlived them!
