Excerpt from Iguana issue #4 interview:
"First of all you have to understand that PUD is a little known American slang for penis, there are even quite a few Americans who don't know that. Anyway, before I got into computers in a big way I used to visit the arcades a lot and occasionally I got to enter my name in the high score table. We are talking about the days when you were only allowed to enter three letters. Well kids used to enter things like TIT and FUK, so I thought about it for a while and came up with PUD. I then got into computers and started to crack games for myself and I thought I would need a handle. After a lot of deliberation I decided to call it PUD corporation or Industries, but then I came up with PUDWORKS, and I did put that in a few cracks, it got abbreviated to PUDWERX. But the thing that really clinched it for me was when I was in some bar with some male friends and we were playing one of the computerized trivia games. Of course by now you could enter your whole name in the hi-scores table. Well anyway, I got a high score and entered PUDWERX. What I didn't realise was that I had knocked off the top position a female, who was quite pissed off about it when she saw it. In fact she was so pissed off that she turned to the bar and shouted at the top of her voice "WHO'S PUDWERX??", well as you can imagine she got some pretty good answers and so I decided that the handle would stick.
