I've been looking at trying out dreamwidth (it's an site, using an LJ code fork, designed to fix/improve some of the annoying things about either the LJ code or the management of this site).

bugshaw has kindly sent me an invite code, so I don't have to wait until the end of April.
So, I've been thinking about names. I've been using redbird here partly because it was the name I used on ElderMOO, and partly because my first name was taken, and I try to avoid online identities that require people to remember how to spell my surname. But this is still in beta, and I may have more choices.
So, a quick poll:
[Poll #1382180]

Re: dreamwidth and naming
but i really like redbird, and i don't have alanbostick's associations with it. (piranha is brazilian slang for streetwalker, so what the heck.)
the only one i don't much like is vicki, because i know too many of them.
not that this ought to actually influence you! use whatever speaks to you most. or flip a coin. :)
