Sorry to disappoint - my nick is far geekier than that. I needed a "hacker nick" way back in the early '90s while I was still in the USAF, and I chose that because it is the day before UNIX epoch time (Jan 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC). It took over 5 years for anyone I associated with in the hacker communities go get the reference. I really miss those days, and that was probably my most challenging, rewarding, and favorite job ever.
