For a good perspective on why I chose this domain let me start with a little story...
In 1994(my sophomore year in high school) I was working for the library. There I met this guy Chris Miller. He told me about this really cool thing called the Los Angeles Freenet(LAFN). LAFN provided very limited shell access to the Internet for $10/year. At that point I had just heard about the Internet and had been debating whether $30/month(remember I was a high school student without a job) was worth access to the Internet(at the time I did quite a bit of BBSing. $10/year was a perfect price. So I signed up.
About 4 weeks later I got a notice that my account was active and I logged on for the first time. My first few weeks on the Internet are a vague haze, but I spent a lot of time online. At the time I was learning to program so I spent most of my time looking up stuff about Pascal(the programming language) on Usenet(comp.lang.pascal) and with gopher(with some help from veronica).
Well during my early searching I came across an interesting thing. This guy Patrick Crispen was going to be teaching a class about the Internet over the Internet. And since I didn't know anything about it at that time. I signed up. (Just in time too, because they only accepted a limited number of people and they shut off subscriptions right after I signed up.) So I subscribe to a listserv and the lessons began. Copies of the lessons are still available on the web. (A search on google for "Roadmap to the Information Superhighway" will yield several sources.
So I went through the course. I learned a lot of stuff about the Internet in general and all the various tools available. It was quite enlightening. I also was introduced to a very dangerous protocol. IRC.
After learning about IRC I wanted to try it out. Only there was a minor problem. LAFN's IRC was only available to local users and only between 12am and 6am. (LAFN was all modem access and they only had 15 lines so there we all sorts of restrictions on use.) I made some time to try it out. It turned into an addiction.
I started hanging out on IRC for 3-4 hours per day(basically midnight till the last person logged off) talking and programming. I met a lot of interesting people. And I really honed my conversation skills. (At the time I was not at all social.) And then there were the User Meets.
So after I had been chatting for a while someone made the suggestion that we all get together and meet since we were all in the same city anyway. The first user meet was help at a Soup Plantation on San Vicente(if I remember correctly.) And basically it was like IRC only with real live face to face contact. Note, I was one of the youngest people in our midnight chat group. (There was a girl my age who went by the handle Ariel, but she was ofter prevented from chatting until the wee hours of the morning since here mom didn't really want her to stay up that late. Her father and brother also hung out on #lafn.) And at that first user meet something was decided. Nobody liked my nickname. Actually I didn't really have one. I had been using my first name as my handle. Well by that time I probably spent more time on IRC that anybody else so they came up with a nickname for me. Net Junkie.
The next time I logged on(that night) I used my new nickname. I wanted to spell it "Net_Junkie" but there was a slight problem. IRC nicknames could only be 9 characters. So the 'e' got cut off. It had to go. My nick remained "Net_Junki" for quite a while. Then I started getting the complaint that it was hard to type the "_" late at night. So I changed it again to "Netjunki". And that has been my nickname ever since.
And now after 7 years I finally have a website.
