Can your handle hack it with the big boys?

Inspired by the coolness of cheeseprophet's handle, I am posting this handy generator for those of you suffering from net nick name inadequacy.

I wasn't really happy with anything I could get for any permutation of either of my handles, so I spent a few minutes figuring out how this thing works. If you want to preserve the magic, don't read the next bit:

[color=E9E9E9]All this does is take the sum of the ACII values of the characters in the string you submit mod the length of their name table and use it as the index for a lookup. Hence, if you add 1 to one character and subtract 1 from another you get the same response, and "ii" returns the same name as "FFF".[/color]

Sorry, I'm the sort of person who explains magic tricks too.

So, how do you get the explanation to appear?

I tried adding water, white out, and even colored in the area of my screen with that fancy disappearing ink reappearer thing.  No go.  :-?

You forgot to say how to read your magic words.  :cry:

Oh, and for those who still believe in the magic of mickey despite knowing there's a sweaty pimply-faced kid underneath, mine was

"Lawless Kermit"

Lawless Kermit,

You have to know the secret password :-P

It could be like those magic eye things where you stare at the screen until you get cross eyed and begin to believe that you can see through the screen.

Or maybe you just have to understand that "there is no spoon."

Got any fairy dust to sprinkle on it?  Don't forget to think happy thoughts.

I know, take your monitor under a heat lamp, like getting a note written in lemon juice to appear ;-).

It's a reverse etch-a-sketch, shake your monitor and the words appear.



... Depending on the font-color settings of your pc, you should just be able to highlight the area with your mouse and viola!  Like the good old fashioned "invisible markers" or writting in a white crayon on an easter egg.

It suggested that I change my handle to "Techno Mole."  Oh well.  I guess you just can't improve upon perfection. :-)

AGREED!

"Cheeseprophet" is hands down the best handle I've ever heard (Though "Punky" for a pilot surnamed Bruster is a close second).

Do you have a themesong?
