fake name generator

i just found an online-tool named fake name generator. it does, what its’ name says: it generates fake identities. often i am forced to register (”for free!“) at some site to access some specific content – and i hate it. these sites tend to collect as much personal data as they can (”to make our service better and taylor it to your needs“). but i don’t like being traced all over the net, so i tend to use bugmenot in the first case. this is a great tool, because you can find preregistered account data there. everyone can contribute and so do i. while registering you often need to come up with random data, and i guess this is the toughest part. the thing is that many big sites validate the entries, at least that the city and the zip-code match. mostly i just hack in some towns’ name into google and use address-data gathered from there (obfuscated of course). but the tool mentioned above makes things easy. a fine bit of code and worth the bookmark!
