I didn't try to break it, but I was happy with it. I'm paranoid that when I talk shop that involves work at my employer (even factual, helpful, relatively neutral information) will bite me in the ass. My family has a long history in labor unions and I've inherited a latent, often unfounded, confirmation-biased view of management/employer relations.
Sounds familiar! My company frowns on social media ...its even mentioned in our employee handbook! So, I have all my social media locked down so only family and friends can see them. Sheesh!
Cool to see the username change actually work (something that was a ton harder back at Woot)

or really, just managing my risk/reward expectation on information sharing

I like it. Perhaps unsurprisingly googling 'ogre made of meat' did not turn up any relevant results.
Curious, why meatie instead of meaty?
Meaty already has a test account and I didn't want to log in to change his name

Speaking of name changes, how many people here kept their same woot user name? I opted to change. My woot name was caroltz.
I kept mine the same, because meh.
I've had this username since the '70s!
I kept mine, because it's the name that people online know me as.
I changed mine. I didn't like Capguncowboy. I changed it to capguncowboy instead.
So much better than your old name.
I kept mine but changed the typo that I carried along with it for years - that means, I guess, it sounds the same but is spelled differently.
You must really like buying closets.
I thought their name was Klo, and they shopped for zits.
The adjective, not the noun!
If I changed my username, how would I know who I am?
I feel the same way about my underpants
Hee, hee
I was hoping to keep my name but turns out my woot name was too long. I think the name is close enough to figure out who I am ;p
But now I read it as Con And Librarian. Totally different connotation.
Sounds like an 80s buddy series with a wacky convict and a straight-laced librarian teaming up.
i read it as "Conan and the librarian" -- which sounds like a wonderfully horrible tv movie
great, now I am writing theme songs in my head for the 80's TV show and the Movie of the Week!
Inspired by this thread, I changed my name. But...@JonT sort of stole my name, so I'll just go with this one instead.
I'm feeling inspired as well. Maybe I'll start changing it every week... On second thought... that's a lot of effort. Once is enough :)
All of this change is frightening! Just so people know @hart was @ohjonnyboy and @hales was @halesyeah.
So I guess I'll change my name to @ohjonnyboy next
Nooooooo... Stop changing your names willy nilly! All the @ mentions will be confusing :(
Hmm, willy nilly, that would be a great name!
Don't worry, I'm pretty happy with my name as it stands.
