I always knew this about you!

I looked up my first name in an acronym finder, and this is what I found:

AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver, is a backup system that allows the administrator of a LAN to set up a single master backup server to back up multiple hosts to a single large capacity tape drive. AMANDA uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix. Recent versions can also use SAMBA to back up Microsoft Windows hosts.

I don't know why, but it just sounds dirty-- well I know why...

I looked up my first name (KATIE) and there were no matches. So, I tried the alternative I get called, instead of Katie (TATE), still no matches. So I went with my second name (LOUISE), nothing. In the end LOU worked.

LOU Hello You (email slang)
LOU Laser Optical Unit (Sony Playstation)
LOU Letter of Understanding
LOU Letter of Undertaking
LOU Limited Official Use
LOU Logical Operation Units (Cisco Systems)
LOU Loss of Use
LOU LPR Oscillator Unit (Telcom Solutions)

Yours,

Limited Official Use

P.S. Which leaves the unofficial.

No, I'd rather have you on the unofficial list.

Laser Optical Unit

You italian space station you!

(I thought it was funny)

 

[sweetnpetite]

No, I'd rather have you on the unofficial list.

Laser Optical Unit

Well, well.

I was thinking that there might be some kind of *punishment* for unofficial usage. (at least, I was hoping...)

 

[sweetnpetite]

No, I'd rather have you on the unofficial list.

Does that mean it's unlimited too?

The boys down in the basement in the Enterprise Technology department of the large bank I worked at used to use AMANDA once a week.

for some reason, I find the 'down in the basement' part intruiging...

Hoity-toity? "Pat" is simply an instruction!

My real name just got "Sorry, xxxxx was not found in the database."

But, "Eff" got:
EFF Effect(ive)
EFF Effects
EFF Efficiency
EFF Effingham
EFF Electronic Frontier Foundation
EFF Equipped For the Future
EFF Essential Function Failure
EFF Excess Frequency Factor
EFF Extended Fund Facility (IMF)

I'm obviously more significant online than off! (Though they still missed Effable)

Yes, but "Patricia" makes me think of one of those tall, cool blondes you see at million dollar charity functions - doesn't fit me at all.
