When I first got online in 1995 I was Zak3. Zachary was my "pet nickname" my wife used to call me (I called her "Bambii") and 3 was my favorite number. My first website was a daily bikini website called "Zachary's Daily Dose". The only person in the industry who knew me as "Zak3" or "Zachary" was Lightspeed, or maybe Minte.
I changed it to Rochard after working for Lightspeed Cash. I had stopped using "Zak3" and "Zachary" (Richard is also a nickname and it was just getting silly already using two nicknames), and Steve Lightspeed wanted me to come up with something to be called. He wanted to call me "Richard Lightspeed". I love Steve to death, but no. So on the spot I came up with "Rochard", pronounced "ROCKhard". More or less, I changed the "i" in "Richard" to an "o".
I think Tanker (or maybe it was Steve) who came up with the phrase "I'm always hard at work". You can take that any way you want.
