another one of those weird threads? username and what they stand for...

[ukchris]

UK -> I'm from the UK
Chris -> That's my name

The only problem is people tend to assume I'm in the UK, hopefully they'll look at the location details.

Figured it was time I had a picture in my signature too..!

[djomlas]

nice sig Chris, so your in UK? j/k

[blinkwatt]

blinkwatt is from a combination of two entirely random thoughts;
my favorite band,blink-182 & I think I was looking at a lightbulb when I was making my user i.d. so I choose watt

[Perfectlap]

that's what the guys used to call me back when I was 5 years old in my go kart!
I was almost as big a terror in that thing as I was in my itty bitty motox bike.
Child safety was a different world entirely back in the 70's.

perfectlap is either the elusive mistake free lap where every apex is nailed and every exit speed maxed to the fullest. Some drive for decades without every accomplishing this. On some tracks like the N-Ring (the old one) Jackie Stewart said it was impossible.
its also the combination of your best sector times from different laps in qualifying.

[Sammy]

I was nicknamed "Sammy" when I was in high school. It was in reference to Sammy from Cheers due to my love of baseball and other things.

[YellowJacket]

I'm a proud engineering nerd from the Georgia Institute of Technology (i.e. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets).

Nothing too original.

[pecivil]

PECivil

PE= Professional Engineer (this is what is says on my license to practice engineering anyway)
Civil= Branch of engineering I can legally practice

what is interesting is I am also a licensed Structural Engineer, and structural engineering is all I do.....I couldn't civil engineer my way out of a wet paper bag

but the practice of structural engineering in Cali is under the umbrella of Civil engineering

I am thusly PECivil on all the forums I am a member on.

I should probably change it to something more catchy.
