Mine came from dial up days. Pronounced "Word Cat" but formerly spelled \/\/3|2d_k4+. Then slowly came to werdkat as it was easier to type when logging into things. The original spelling was from "groups" I belonged to doing white hat type activities. The later was for my counterstrike/q/q3 days. Most people that know by this call me "werd".
My aim screenname Orange Highliter, was created while sitting in C++ class. I needed to send some code and all we had access to was AIM express. Trying to figure out a name, I saw an Orange Highlighter....well the rest is as they say...history.
See you guys in April
