If my given name were as common as John, Richard, Thomas, or William, a contrived username might have been fun. But when my actual name already is unusual, there didn't seem much point.

Well, the avatar picture is of the wonderful UK songwriter Kate Bush.

My nickname comes from a job I had in the late 1980's working on a Commodore 64 computer games magazine here in the UK, where amongst other things I did the playing tips section which involved things called pokes to hack into games. A combination of my surname and pokes led to piginapoke as the title for the tips section, and it is an old english word as well which has a bit of irony given how the tips section was compiled.

Well my nickname came from my uncle's favorite subject, Manned Space Flight. And my avatar is the logo for his and my favorite band, Avenged Sevenfold.
