Pictures of Giza

Pictures of Giza, my leopard (and goat!) “fursona” in the furry community.

Some of these pictures are gift art, others are random sketches and conbadges that I’ve gotten over the last 20 years or so. Starting in about 2010 I began dressing up like a White Mage from Final Fantasy, it turned out to be a really cool idea, and now I get art of me drawn as a White Mage.

Were you looking for the list of conventions that I attend? That’s over here!

Featured Artwork

These pictures are the most popular ones I’ve had over the years, as they were used as icons on Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal, and other places, as well as actual conbadges at conventions.

Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem (FUSSP) Response

I got this form letter from this Slashdot post, and it has surfaced in countless other incarnations, too.

FUSSP stands for “Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem. It’s used to describe ideas put forth by people with little sysadmin/email/spam fighting experience who think that they found the magic problem to stop spam. More examples of FUSSPs can be found here.

Enjoy!

The meaning of the name “Douglas”

My full first name is Douglas, although I prefer “Doug” as it takes less syllables to pronounce. 🙂

There are several forms of my name which come from different nationalities:

English: Douglas
Scottish: Douglas, Douglass
Gaelic: Dugald, Dougal
Celtic: Douglas, Dugald
Irish: Dugald, Dougal

My name also has several origins:

In early English it means “gray or black stream”.
From scottish, it means “dark water”.
Dugald comes from the Gaelic, meaning “dark stranger”, and from the
celtic, meaning “black hair”.

Silverhawks Outtakes

In addition to the Thundercats, there was another cartoon series in the 1980s called “The Silverhawks”. It too was a science fiction cartoon, except it took place in the far future and in space. Another interesting note is that it had the same voice acting cast as Thundercats did. Since I have gotten more requests for outtakes, I figured I would put up these ones as well.

Just like the Thundercats outtakes, these have some pretty foul language. You’ve been warned!

Thundercats Outtakes

*“We’re all out of ammo. Time to use foul language!”*

The Thundercats were a cartoon show which aired during the 1980s. I used to watch it all the time, but it wasn’t until the early 2000s when I learned that there were outtakes from the show! Everyone I shared them with enjoyed them, so I thought I would host them here as well.
