What does your avatar mean?
Well, here's a totally useless question if there ever was one, but one that intrigues me nevertheless. Why did you choose your avatar? What does it mean to you? Where does techimoe's dog come from? Who is the face of bigtomrodney's avatar? I know this has absolutely no importance, but I'm curious all the same.
Well, if anyone wants to know, mine comes from the cult British children's comedy series Rentaghost. His name's Timothy Claypole and he's a mischievious poltergheist. I chose him as I adored this programme when I was a kid, but it's also an expression of homesickness. Although I'm generally happy in France, I miss whacky British humour, warm beer, bonfire night, Doctor Who...Distribution: Archlinux

My Avatar represents nothing in particular, obviously it represents GNU, so you could call me a GNUbie! Hardy har har!
I think it was one of the few Images available on my Hard drive when I signed up at LF after techieMoe Disabled my animated Avatar and made me go sit in my Virtual corner. It seems to have grown on me and so I had my girlfriend touch it up for me.I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

I've already deleted my avatar but it was an uppercase letter O with a lowercase letter z in the middle of it. I refuse to tell anyone what it meant, though.

Mine doesn't really mean anything. Just a cute picture of Tux that leaped out at me. Still looking for one that is more fitting to my personality.

The first one... with a long O sound.
Actually, I got it off an Ozarka spring water bottle.

No, I'd better not... with my luck, they'd bring suit against me. Originally Posted by jayd512

Ever since I was a very young child, I have been in to dragons.
What else could I have chosen?

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

My best friend told me I'm like Taz. My temper is impulsive. And the semi-hidden cross...Well, I'm a Christian, and that's an important thing in my life.
