I've thought about changing it a few times, but never quite sure what to change it to.  The only reason it's not 'Caligula' is because I matched it to my old hotmail address, which I couldn't use caligula for because it was already taken.  I actually own a pair of caligae too, so that's kind of a neat tie-in.
