Do you mean the name (l33tmyst) or the Geek Code Block? The name is from
a few years ago, but I haven't got around to changing it as it's my
handle for everything (IRC, Email, Domain, Server Name, Twitter, Identica).

The Geek Code is actually a sort of joke code, which basically describes
you and your geeky habits. e.g the Emacs code ranges from E+++ (meaning
Emacs is my login shell!! M-x doctor is my psychologist! I use emacs to
control my TV and toaster oven! All you vi people don't know what you're
missing! I read alt.religion.emacs, alt.sex.emacs, and comp.os.emacs.)
to E---- (meaning Emacs sucks! pico forever!!!).

You can decode them with the geekcode script (in the default apt
repositories for Debian and Ubuntu). For example you can see what mine
means on Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/f1c810c7.
