Why makuchaku

Posted on December 12, 2005, 11:55 pm, by Mayank Jain (makuchaku).

On a polular request…

When I was in beginning of 3rd year, I used to call myself mac48bit. It used to be in sync with my “technical” likings (specially when I did my CCNA) :-D . All my forum logins/mail-ID’s etc were mac48bit. It literally meant “a 48 bit MAC address” (grin!).

Then my bro started calling me MakGrathi, named after the austrailian bowler McGrath (if you watch cricket, you might know who he is). Slowly it disintegrated into “maku” & gradually, I changed it to “makuchaku”, with “chaku” just to make it a full word.

Actually, “makuchaku” has a lot of benefits!
1) Almost everyone is curious to know what the heck! it means.
2) Everyone on the Delhi Linux User Group knows me by this name. Its kinda very unique!
3) Any domain name & login on even the busiest mail server is easily
available by this name, because its unique!
4) I liked to be called “makuchaku” or even “maku” :-D

:-)
Hope it makes you a bit less curious :-D
lolz!

    Hi

    There is going to be a Blogcamp in India on 16th of June. Around 250 bloggers will be taking part in the event.

    This is what they say on their blog: “The way unconferences work is that, you don’t have an agenda, rather we will put up a white board, where participants will themselves add the topics they are interested to speak upon. Depending upon the number of speakers we will go for multiple threads. There will be some intense discussions, we will have a lot of fun and yes there will be blogging, video blogging, photo blogging, podcasting … everything under the blogger sun.”

    The registrations have started. We are planning to have 250 participants from all over the country. There are some people taking part virtually, using youtube, slideshare, skype etc. if you are interested please add your name to the wiki.

    Hey Maku

    That’s a nice one. You’ve said it right here. This ‘Maku’ indeed can make even the most dull guy inquisitive. Good plan always find way to your mind. And what a co-incidence here, the anti-spam word that I’d to type is “plan” :o )
    Good Job! Keep it up! :-)
