For years, I refused to put pictures up on my webpages. However, it is an unbreakable Law of the Web that cat-owners must place cute photos of their kitty on their websites. So... here you go. Pictures. Satisfied now?


My name... or names...

I use various name in various circumstances, for various reasons. Here's the usual ones:

Dylan O'Donnell. Or, in full, Dylan Anthony Chrysogonus O'Donnell (yes, really) - my real name. Or at least, the real name I prefer to use.

DACOD. The initials of the above.

Psmith. The name I use on talkers, MUDs, IRC (less often), pretty well everywhere that needs a "handle" rather than a real name. The P is silent, by the way, it's not prounced P-Smith <shudder>. It comes from several of P.G. Wodehouse's books, if you're at all interested. I often expand it to Citizen Psmith, blending the name with the BBC sitcom from years ago.

Dylan Wright. The real name I prefer not to use, but since it's on my birth certificate, passport, bank accounts, etc, I can't avoid the thing, being far far too lazy to get it changed by deed poll properly.


INTP. But you'd already realised that, right?
