* October 31, 2005 -- First ULX release (v0.5) for Garry's Mod version 9. Since we released so quickly after GM9, it was relatively bare bones. We drew heavily from AMXX for inspiration. The 'X' in ULysses X is a hat-tip to AMXX.

ULX is the abbreviation for "Ulysses X"
Megiddo will need to answer why "Ulysses"
The history of what existed before ULX was UGM, and U stood for Ultimate Garry's Minimod (as mentioned in above full post if you click, and the www.ulyssesmod.net "About" page.

Oh, I've been on the forums for so long when I type u it just goes to forums.ulyssesmod.net, so honestly.
Megiddo:
To be honest, I don't remember the exact reason why we chose the name "Ulysses". I seem to recall that the name idea came from someone helping me with UGM back in the day (UGM=Ultimate Garrysmod Minimod), though the name "Ulysses" was originally intended for something else. I was in high school at the time, had already purchased the domain, and decided to multipurpose it for the admin mod as well. The other project didn't work out and here we are today. :)
Moral of the story... don't be cheap with domain names? Think about the impact of naming things more? Oh well, "ULX" has served us well. :D

I would defiantly say in your case, the name worked out.
