Somebody seemed to be having trouble changing his nic the other night. I've added a utility to make that easy to the comments page.

#41  Why would those vile jihadis want to deprive the world of a civilization that could come up with the technology to give me the wonderful name Vinegar Uletle?

#39  Hay, I can even use this name!

Yes - once.

#38  I can't speak for anyone else but, with my porous memory, I can guarantee I won't recognize anyone by their new nic. I lost track of several people I was fond of when they changed to whatever Fred's previous cool anonymizer gave them. Even though for a while they parenthesized their former name.

Hi, Mike Sylwester! Who had you been hanging out anonymously as?

#31  Seewhutahmean? With a long nic and a long URL it can also mess up the page width.

#30  I give it another 30 minutes before someone comes along to tell us that "Pic-a-Nic" is racist.

While you're fixing things, is it possible to make it so that the website (when entered) shows up linked to the name? I gave up putting my blog in the website space because it looked ugly.

#3  Just one warning: Once you use it, it's written to your cookie. You become the nic, and the nic becomes you.

It's all very Zen.
