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.

Actually my family title, but on my birth certificate and all my documents it is part of my first name (not double barrelled, but two separate first names). Apart from my family, everyone calls me Syed.
