If you're referring to wintermute, that's the name of an AI from a Gibson novel. Soo, pretty common among cyber punk nerds online. My name is an allusion to one character from that series, too: count zero.
Ha, TIL! Thank you!
While we're at it: Villa Straylight is the name of an abandoned space habitat from the same series ;-)
You're going to make me read it, aren't you :D
I mean, they are fine books!
