Pirillo seems pretty obvious to me. You'd think my last name wouldn't be a problem, but I've become used to the fact that I have "several" last names...Tinker, Fincher, Lincher, Pincher. I wonder if Gorbechev wasn't a political figure what he'd be called. Amazing how so many last names sound like they're spelled and are spelled like they sound, yet people still can't get them right.

To cover things up, they came up with "What you say your name was again?". And Syafiq - it's just a matter of somebody giving you a piece of paper and pen; that will sort out the problem... Ppl often misspell my name by putting an extra A. Wish it is a grade... phew.. I've met some people that don't know how to pronounce my name correctly.

It would therefore be possible to calculate the relative bandwidth provided by a cookie given that a cookie travels approximately 186,000 miles/second in a vacuum. Okay, I'm geeking out.

I'm not sure which. But it's been a real bitch getting people to my website when my domain name is my last name. Maybe I should have registered thepolishguy.com or something.

I had an english teacher once insist I was spelling my last name wrong because of the I before E rule and I had to explain to this teacher that my last name is a German last name and it does not follow that rule.
