Retiring

[pandora_parrot]

I am retiring my old "public" username. There was too much private information associated with that name, so I've chosen to move forward with a new username for public communication.

For those of you that know me personally through this LJ, y'all have access to my private username, gentle gamer, so this doesn't affect you. I'm just sort of marking this moment in time. :)

Hm, that doesn't seem like enough differentiation to make a difference to someone seeking to track you between accounts.

Either way, do I need to subscribe to both, or just one?

wait... huh?

what both?

*ponders* The implication of this post that I took was that there would be a gentle_gamer and a gentlegamer.

I'm very confused.

No... Gentle Gamer is my personal moniker for my private information. I use it on a wide variety of services, including MMORPGs, email, etc. This is intended to be my private and personal username, where I do fun and queer related things on the net, and be completely open about myself and all that I am.

I have another username that I use for public correspondence. With companies and corporations and businesses and stuff like that. I've changed that. This lets me manage what companies are able to easily google about me. I'm sure anyone with a bit of google-fu could find their way from one to the other, but it's not immediately obvious anymore.

Ah, gotcha.

Thank you for clarifying.

BTW, do you know where the laundry room key is?

[paradox-puree.livejournal.com]

It's attached to the second set of car keys for the TARDIS.

Awesome sauce, thank you!

"I'm sure anyone with a bit of google-fu could find their way from one to the other"

I believe we did establish that nicely, yes =)

Although it now looks like I might have misread that. Unless you edited?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'old public username', I guess.

hehe last time I tried that, I had someone post "I can't get used to x has changed their name to y" I wanted to slap myself, but figured that would get burried fast under a few hundred comments all over the place, and lots of new people using my old alias.

Out with the old, in with the GNU, huh? :)

\\A little nerd humor never hurt here and there, right? :D
