Changed my dA username, that is.
Not that it's that much different from my previous handle - all I did, basically, was expand my first name out and capitalize the first and last names and middle initial.
Heh, I remember first getting onto this "Internet" thingy through AOL, lo these many years ago - my very first user name was "OtakuDave". But as time wore on, and I began to realize what a great tool for business and promotion the Net, and especially the Web, could be, I decided that I needed a more "professional" identity in cyberspace.
And even though most of the people who know me (and even quite a few who don't) call me "Dave", that identity ("Dave Matthews") had already been appropriated, by some guy who plays guitar and sings. I think he's even got a band...
Anyway. I'd decided that "dcmatthews" would be my online name wherever I could use it; figuring that anyone who came across the name "dcmatthews" on a website, message board, or social network would know it's me. That started becoming problematic when I kept finding "dcmatthews" unavailable on sites like eBay and Twitter (where I had to append some combination of letters or numbers to the end to get a unique UN). I recently tried to get my Twitter handle "dcmatthews2010" changed to "DavidCMatthews" only to discover
another David C. Matthews on Twitter - and he's an artist as well!
Sp i was happy to see that a) deviantART now allows premium members to change their usernames, and b) that my name "DavidCMatthews" was still available!
So here I am, with a new, improved, mostly same old name!
