Fan boying over Linux. Fan boying over Esperanto. Tux the Linux Penguin is the mascot of Linux. Pingveno is penguin in Esperanto. Fan boying squared.

Facebook gave me about 6 Captchas to prove I'm not a robot before it locked me out of my account. I own a lot of comic books, so I picked the name of Marvel's Machine Man character.. X-51

Mixture of influences, feels as if I'm from different era and culture, tbh. Knight is just an alternative nickname for a fighter, as we're all struggling each day... LazyTiger is a second choice, because I'm lazy and a Tiger under Chinese zodiac.

Also I tried different potential usernames with a website that let me see in how many mainstream sites it was taken/available. SeerLite was the first one to not be taken anywhere, so I used that.

There isn't a meaning behind it. It's not my real name, it's a pen name. I like the way it sounds.

Tom Waits reference. Originally an obscure one from Bone Machine, then an obvious one from Mule Variations.

It's from a Tim and Eric sketch.

Favorite letter P, favorite number 4. I created a battle.net account with that username. I was really young and didn't give it more thought, and I ended up using it on some other platforms. And now even sometimes AFK, but as "PP44" is really easy to type, but a mouthful to say, I pronounce it "P4" or "PP" (I prefer P4). I like it for no other reason than the fact it is a name I chose for myself and that it's old relative to my age.
