    I listen to music a lot, and I do like all the stuff related to encoding and decoding multimedia filetypes.

        Yeah, it appears in the film “The Internet’s Own Boy”.

        By the way, his username was not “明-3 NOMAD” but rather my real username gary_host_laptop, so he used it twice I think but in a different way which was “Ghost_laptop”, omitting “ary”.

    It’s part of an e-mail alias randomly generated by the SimpleLogin service.

    According to Wikipedia, it’s used as a term for shallow marine sediment that contains noticeable quantities of rounded greenish grains

    flbn is shorthand for fleabane, my favorite flower. it’s a bit of a shitter and most people would consider it a weed; i’ve always been fond of the little guys though. i also just happen to think flea and bane are both kinda cool names.

    It’s Dutch for handle, because this is my online handle. That’s really all there is to it.
