My Name Is…
…not Slim Shady. Just ‘Randy’ (or ‘Randall’ for those who consider ‘Randy’ to be slang).
I have used that handle DeltaTee for probably about eight years now, and have seldom not had that user id not available. (Though it is also the name of a corporation out of Calgary.) So most anyplace you find a user named DeltaTee, is it likely to be me. (Including sites like
[Apple](http://www.apple.com/developer/),
[Yahoo](http://yahoo.com/),
[MacSlash](http://macslash.org/) and
[GMail](http://gmail.com/).)
The only older handle that is still in use is [Beeman](http://slashdot.org/~Beeman), and that is only used on [slashdot.org](http://slashdot.org). The name comes from from the Animaniac’s character [Randy Beaman](http://brchrisax.tripod.com/), though I have just realized I misspelled the name. It was given to me by a friends then girlfriend (who then became his wife, ex-wife, and wife again).
The was probably a handle older than that, but I really don’t recall. It was around the time that [Bianca](http://shack.bianca.com/shack/)’s was new and cool. Before it was really explainable what it was. Before it tried to go commercial. Before the [Wayback Machine](http://archive.org/) really started archiving. Way before it degenerated in what it is today.
