What does my forum name mean?
"In computer science, lex is a program that generates lexical analyzers ("scanners" or "lexers"). Lex is commonly used with the yacc parser generator. Lex, originally written by Eric Schmidt and Mike Lesk, is the standard lexical analyzer generator on many Unix systems, and a tool exhibiting its behavior is specified as part of the POSIX standard.
Lex reads an input stream specifying the lexical analyzer and outputs source code implementing the lexer in the C programming language.
Though traditionally proprietary software, versions of Lex based on the original AT&T code are available as open source, as part of systems such as OpenSolaris and Plan 9 from Bell Labs. Another popular open source version of Lex is Flex, the "fast lexical analyzer".
That's what it means. As for why I chose it, I don't remember. Just had to come up with a name once and have continued to use it in some places. There are other forums where I use other names. i imagine that Lex is a nickname for Alex or Alexander. One marginally famous Lex would be Lex Barker who played Tarzan.

This is one of many threads that gives this forum such a great sense of community. Thank you sea-nile for starting it.
Ever since I first stepped off the old wooden dock in Cruz Bay--many, many years ago--I have unabashedly been a St. John Lover. It was such a strange feeling, to feel so utterly at home and in peace, in a place I'd never been before.

Well, since this thread has bumped back up I'll add that the obvious part of my name is the CruzBay part... easy enough to see my love of STJ in that but my last name is Buchanan making CruzBayB perfect sounding together as CruzBaby or CruzBay B, either way ya wanna interpret it! Just curious... which way did yall read it... CruzBay B or Cruz Baby???
"By the time we hit Miami, the cell phones will ring and life as we know it will draw us back in, so tonight we will just continue to soak in the sounds, the sights, the tastes and the feelings of St. John."
