Just Wondering....

[Happy_Dau]

Happy_Dau is just the re-translation of my name. My First Name is Felix, which is Latin and means "The Lucky One". I was thinking about Lucky Dau but that sounded more like some advertising for cigarrets, so I chose Happy Dau. The _ remained from old Quake I times when there was no space, and I finally got used to it.

Dau is my Last name and is an old joke in computers. A Dau is the "Most Stupid User You Can Imagine" (Duemmster Anzunehmender User) and I liked it alot (I knew how to boot our old 286 and start the game "Digger" when I was six). So I kept it. The term DAU refers to the german GAU (Groesster anzunehmender Unfall). I don't know if an english equivalent exists, a GAU is just the term when a nuclear power plant explodes.
