Vanity

Three-letter usernames are the way and the light. I'd been waiting for that to be free for years.

I'm still raxvulpine where rax isn't available, though I also snagged rax on IRC today. This is sort of vaguely related to doing my job maybe.

Anyway, back to work. *glee*

I'm still irritated that [livejournal.com profile] mo was taken when I signed up long ago.

You and [livejournal.com profile] indiwent have it made -- (he's even luckier, he has a natural abbreviation of his name that's three letters long, and with an mit.edu address, he's triply blessed.)

Wow -- having a three-letter anything on the Internet is like having the .com domain for your name. I'm appropriately envious. :)

I'll have to settle for my three-letter username under a domain of three labels with three letters each.

So did you ... like .. have a script to check every day, or .. ?

Surprisingly, no! I had given up! But the discovery that you could drop names on IRC led me to go check. Sadly, you cannot drop names on AIM; I am vaguely considering a lackadaisical script that tries a new password against it every five minutes for the rest of my life, since no one has been logged on to it in years. I'm currently working on twitter.
