I've chosen my new username (but I don't know which .edu is going to let
me use it), and have been playing around with the name for the past hour
and a half. I'd like your input/suggestions/worries/ministrations/etc.
I'm also looking for a stone/rock/slab motif. I haven't come up with
anything passable yet.
Here's some basic figletesque stuff
_ _ _____ _ _ ____ ____
| | | |_ _| || | | __| but the S and O look too boxy

| | | |_ _| || |/ \ / __/
| |_| | | | | __ | || |__ | the O is better, the S worse
|___|_| |_| |_||_|\__/|____/

| |_ | || \ | || | / \ / __\
| || ||_ _|| __ |( () )(__ ) I liked the effect on the L, but
\___||_/ |_| |_||_/ \__/ \____/ couldn't continue it

mm er pl ummerp lu mm er my last name (didn't come out even,
plum me rp lu mm erplum merp but things divisible by five look
stupid, trust me. Thins divisible
by five come out even automagically.)
Obviously, I found the last several worth playing with, and some of thos
above are cool in a basic sort of way too.
Ideas?
