I'd like to say there was some great meaning or moment attached, but alas I just made it up in the mid-90s and stuck with it ever since, lol

I made it using diceware, a way to choose passwords and usernames using real dice. I changed it to gritty from the original "gritnot" that diceware came up with.

initials plus surname minus vowels. have used a version with vowels but old Unix systems like <8 char usernames

@gritty diceware is a great idea, takes possible bias out of the selection
