It's about 1995/96 and Internet was new(ish). I worked at a company that had access, but not offical access. Setting up your non-ip Windows 95 install and building the IP stack was up to you. I did it though, and started to experiment with the now common wasting my time at work pastime of 'surfing'.
In the process I found a program/site called Palace. One of the first social interactive attempts, now long gone. My handle came from the Palace I started out at, and it was Star Trek themed. 'Kacknor' in short, is Klingon. I'm way past that, but Kacknor was a totally made up name and as such is unique. If I find a site or page that uses it, I'm guaranteed that it was me and I've been there before. I figure there is value in that.
