I'm working in FG making some tables and charts and what not for a game I'm working on.

I notice a "'Boomer' disconnected" in the chat window, and that's when I notice "'Boomer' connected. Further up the chat window.

Who is Boomer, and why are they connecting to my FG?

Whenever you start FG any alias you have set in your FG instance is logged with the central SmiteWorks server. So, either Boomer has at some time connected to your alias and still have that in their game list and mistakenly selected your connection, or by pure accident, against the odds, someone else has the same alias as you.

When I'm create development campaigns I always put a password on them, that way if someone does try to connect to my alias intentionally or not, they won't be able to unless they guess the password too.
