I am a scientist with expertise in planetary geophysics, and an amateur historian. The user name refers to a character "The Golux" in the book "The Thirteen Clocks"[1] by James Thurber (1950). The Golux was an inept wizard who cast spells upon himself when he was "in his cups". The "mad" prefix adds uniqueness and denotes one driven to the brink insanity by the imposition of draconian restrictions on professional computer use.
