truna aka j.turner || underview | overstanding

the name truna was given to me by a friend when i was still at school. it is the name used by old friends, some members of my family and it is the name i publish and play under.

i use this name for publishing and play for a number of reasons. it is a handy avatar name, more interestingly it evokes telling moments of software culture - noone knows how to fit it into referencing software conventions; i have a collection of conference badges with delightfully confused variations and most data-based forms reject 'aka' as a middle name, wanting only an initial ....

it has nothing to do with fish ......

the logo was designed by travis for the first CDES LAN party - thank you travis.

the overview - underview, understanding - overstanding menu wording is derived from the claiming of language, particularly prefixes and a play on derrida's conceptualisation of slippage in many 80s reggae lyrics

... it's ok - i've overstood - this is the wordy rapping hood .. [tom tom club with sly and robbie]
