(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I noticed that some users choose to switch their user name on the forum. I thought it might be a good idea for those that want to disclose, having a thread that says... hey everyone, I'm still here but changed my name or handle.....

I put this in the off-topic conversations because posts here only show up for users that log in.

Wishing you all well,

Yes, good idea.

I'm known as RSH / LazY Puppy. I lost my password and could not receive a new one from the forum's function. To register by a new account has had failed for several months and many times for some unknown reasons.

There were a few DE users experiencing equal problems.

Thanks to rockedge (he'd created a mail account at his server for my use) I could register by a new user name immediately.

So, ITSMERSH = It's me, RSH!

Ha ha, I was "neerajkolte", until I took a break and then forgot the password. Good old 500 something posts in that account...
Made new account and now I remember the old password too. Lol.

I wonder if Pelo/hamoudoudou will tell the truth here..... Lol

A topic of no small interest to those of us whose path through life has been one less-followed.

Changing a forum id is nothing compared with letting people know your female name when you transition in preparation for a sex-change. As it happened, I had become passably well known in my area of professional specialisation before the big change ... and then I found that people I had never told knew all about it anyway.

I once had an interesting first three weeks on a contract when the management knew about me before I had told them.They were much relieved when I made an all-staff announcement because it meant they would not be on the hook for accidentally disclosing what they knew.

Funny old world, eh?

ITSMERSH, the forum won't allow more than one account with the same email address. If you tried to register using the email address you'd used for the account you forgot the password for, the forum won't let you. If I delete the account you forgot the password for, then you could re-register using the old name and email address, but you couldn't edit your old posts. You wouldn't be the same old RSH as far as the forum is concerned.

Before anyone asks, no I can't change passwords or even find out what they are.

Hi Flash.

I'm aware of this.

Each time I tried to register to the forum, I'd used a different email address. At least I can recall two accounts partially atm.

One is TAERSH or taersh (or similar) using the email address the-alternate-ego-of-rsh@web.de, the other one was something like that 'Our Future is not set in Stone' using the email adress ofinsis@gmail.com. Both email accounts are remain active.

I never received the activation mail nor could I get the password of my old RSH account from the forums function. That email address used for the old RSH account is still active.

I made a topic in the German forum about this issue and two member almost immediately replied equal experiences/problems when trying to register to the forum.

There's definitely something wrong, at least partially on the forum's function to request a password.

i came back because of a renewed interest in all systemd-free distros, and to help someone in particular keep track of them.

this place is always interesting.

someone flattered me recently by confusing me with iguleder. yeah thats very nice to say, but no. i have used his work before though.

I'm not so sure that it's anywhere near as uncommon as it once was.....although 'less-followed' is certainly true.

I have at least three acquaintances who've made 'the transition'. One has cut all ties with her old life, and, wishing to make a completely new circle of friends, has moved a long way away (where no-one knows her), and has started a completely new career.

The other two appear to have taken the view that since at least some of the people who supported them through this period of change were ones they knew from their 'old' life, why throw away good friends? They still work for the same employers, with the same colleagues, have the same circle of friends,and, generally speaking, have been totally accepted.

It's a start, however, that identity change is at least now possible for this 'minority' group.....and one which I'm in total agreement with.

Go for it, girl. You have as much right to live your life with dignity, in the way in which you feel most comfortable, as anyone else. All credit to you for having the 'balls' to go through with it.....because it certainly takes them to even contemplate such a prolonged period of upheaval in the first place. Especially when it's entirely voluntary.

I seriously doubt you'll lose any friends you may have already made on this forum over this 'disclosure'. They're a good bunch, by and large.....and pretty laid-back, most of 'em.

EDIT:- Check your inbox.

Musher might give me a bit of stick for wayward humour for this ... but the last time I saw my balls, they were in a stainless steel surgical dish in a hospital operating theatre!

OMG, you were awake

OMG, you were awake

I had three GRS operations in sequence. The first was bilateral orchidectomy, which is normally carried out under local anaesthesia.

I waved a surly farewell to the poison glands and heaved a sigh of relief.
