  1. Frotz is a program used to play an old type of computer game called text adventures, aka Interactive Fiction (IF in short).

    Xyzzy is a reference to a command used in several IF games, either as a cheat code or an easter egg.

    I'm a fan of the old text games such as Zork, Jigsaw, etc.

    I also like to use forum handles that are unreadable & hard to remember.

    So the combination of the two names/words seemed like a good choice to me.

  2. Those engineer boots are from a very nice brand called Phigvel Makers & Co.

    The cost is 68250 JPY and they're made from horsehide leather.

    Here are some shops that carry them:

    Btw, there's another brand which makes similar (and even more expensive) horsehide engineer boots called Old Joe & Co.
