"Hoot, Mon! It's great to see you!"
As I understand it, "Hoot Mon" is Scottish for "Yo, Dude." So its a greeting. I like it for its value of antiquity. The winking owl follows on from that. He knows the end is near...so lighten up.

username info
the bluescat48 is one of several "cat" titles (wildcat48, catwilder48) I use at various sites on the internet. The cat comes from wildcat my old CB handle back in the '70s. The 48 is my birth year 1948 & the blues is my favorite style of music.

Curious then, isn't it, how "UNIX" is all capital letters.

Darwin loves you.

I've forgotten the origin so it's lost to history, I guess. I'd like to know, but I don't

My parent's first choice, thank god.
Many people ask me if I'm pissed off at my parents for giving me such an unusual name, particularly with capital letters in the middle. When I point out to them that my parents second and third choice were Mortimer and Nebuchadnezzar , they understand why I am actually appreciative. The name derives from the fact that they had tried for four years to have a baby and didn't succeed until they met an aged Guru who let them in on life's great secret.

Most UNIX and UNIX-like system (And my current prefered OS, Plan 9 (Which is more UNIX than UNIX)) differ between small and capital letters, meaning, that having your username in capital letters, or just one capital letter, would make you having to press an extra button.
UNIX is a trademark name for UNIX and UNIX certified systems(Like Apple's OS X). The capital letters are part of it.
Furthermore, i must admit that the fact that my username consists of 3 letters and all are small letters is also a tribute to the people i look up to, like; dmr, ken and bwk.
