About the name "Zabbadoz"

"Zabbadoz" - what a name? Friends and other people have asked the me that question often in the past. "What does it mean?" or "Where does the name come from?" are the usual follow-ups.

The answers to those are: "I do not know for sure". It must have been one of my early mid 1990s boring history lessons in school when we were learning about Aztecs and Inca. Great subjects normally. I think the name comes from those days. Maybe it was one of their leaders, those strong persons guiding peoples. The problem is, that I could not find a single reference for this anywhere anymore. So this may be fiction or may be true.

In case you know anything about the name in a context other than "Zabbadoz.NeT" let me know.

About the zabbadoz network

Zabbadoz.NeT started somewhen in August 1999. At first it was my private domain for E-mail, but soon became the name for my private home network running my own servers off a leased line. There are 1,2,3,.. computers, laptops, etc. There has been an wireless access point since the early days, long before this technology became downmarket. Proper cabling, a patch panel, switches, .. form the wired part of the network. Some of the machines are up 24-7 and I recently started to use very low-power (up to max. of 16W) ones.
