     Hey!  It's me!  I finally changed my login to something truly deep and
meaningful (at least to me).  So, change your .whom, your .buddy, your .wf
to "spcman John".  Also, the new home of BoFf is ~spcman/public/BoFf, and
AllNight forum is ~spcman/public/allnight.dir/AllNight.  Actually it may be
a bit till Jon gets around to making those work in their new homes...

     Oh yes... who was I?  jhdiii (hey, some people don't use see_uid).

     from my initials (jhdiii) to something that reflected an interest of
mine, spcman.  But everybody keeps telling me spccdt (space cadet) would be
more descriptive...

     Yes, it's true.  I have changed my login once again.  Due to popular
demand, I am now....   spcecdt!!!  (believe it or not, there are some people
who think of me in those terms).
     Actually, it was kind of funny.  I applied for the change yesterday, and
was told it would go through at the end of the week.  So here I was logged in..
everything working fine... then I tried to do a cd, and it said I couldn't
change to my login dir!  I wooonder why?  Actually I didn't figure it out
until hordes of users started writing me asking me what happened to all my
fantastically useful public utilities.  So now everybody on b has to do a
bunch of :g/spcman/s//spcecdt/g ... ;-)
     Oddly enough, 'u' still reports spcman, and people are writing me at
spcman... guess it will be that way until I log out... then spcman will die!
hmmm... login changed while you are logged in... like bwain surgery while you
are concious?

$PATH to /b/c/spcecdt/public.
