Uhm, I used to be active in the demoscene. Mostly as a programmer. So I've been using nicknames for 15 years or so. Multiplex I got after a discussion with a girl I knew way back when. We were toying around with words and at some point we got to the word Mux. But there already were some people called Mux. In electronics Mux is short for a thing called a Multiplexer, a device that takes multiple signals and combines them to one. As I was doing something similar in hobby, taking multiple things that others from our demo group made and putting them into a single demo, hey my new nickname was born.

Mux for short, Multiplex for full.

The 213 I added, no idea why I started doing that, I guess at some point I signed up somewhere where Mux was already used. 213 is my extention number at work.

Greetz,

Bastiaan "mux213" Olij
