Uberdude has been my handle since before I was online: I first chose it when playing Unreal Tournament on a LAN with my German exchange student Sven (~aged 15 in 2000). So I had German on my mind, and also the uber prefix came to mind being a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the ubervamps. When I joined KGS in 2005 my profile picture was a colourful image of the Mandelbrot set that I made with a a 1st year computer science project from university the year before. The one I have now, and just added here, is my first cat Molly, because Go players having profile pictures of cats is the thing to do.
