Post: RE: What do your usernames mean?

gmk is a shortening of my real username, "geremachek". I like using geremachek because it is my actual middle name, also it is always available as it is made up and means nothing.

The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, just kidding. But in all seriousness, If I had to choose a favorite book it would probably be The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien.
