Dogbert - it is so plain it's dull.

i always loved the character and the comics. i've even used to be an active reader of the blog (before my daughter came around) 

whenever i have to write a nick it's either Foamy, Squirrely Wrath, Zen Of Anger, or plain Dogbert.

i never played online games, and at first i thought i would not last here a week. so i did not care for the name. now i'm definetly would have chosen something more interesting.

my second acount, long gone, was in fact Foamy.

i also had a third, Elfbert (which further proves how uncreative i can get), before i knew it was illegal and stopped using it.

I choose Bartimeus because of a book I read in my youngth. It is called "the bartimeus trilogie" and the author (Jonathan Stroud) is juste amazingly funny. Bartimeus is a medium level Djin who can change appearance at will, and has lived for a few thousand years so far.
In this world, the magicians have taken over the government for quite some time. those have no magical power, but know how to summon and bind a demon (foliot, djin, afrit) to their will.
But bartimeus has got much wits and tries his best to always misinterpret his orders.
(for example, if you order him to make sure someone never hurts you, he will most likely think killing you himself is the best way to achieve this)
His appropriate uses of small notes on the bottom of pages makes the book unusual and very pleasant.

edit; I also called my rabbit "bartimeus"

Tracy Scoggins is the name of the actor of the Commander of Babylon 5 in the final season.
I originally used it in EVE Online as the name for my alt and it kind of stuck.
It has never been taken  when I needed a username :)

-Tracy-
