Phate - he's a character out of a book
For those that don't know I've been working in computers for 5 - 6 years now, and I'm a bit of a geek....anyway, I like reading a lot and one day I got a given a book called "The Blue Knowhere" - Basically, it's about a computer hacker whos screename is Phate who gets so involved in the computer world he is unable to distinguish between the real world and the computer world.
Long story short, in the computer world he was playing a game where your a killer, and starts killing people in real life.
One of my most favourite books - it's a good read!
And ever since I've used the screename Phate...but don't worry - I don't plan on killing anyone yet
