Donk. This Foone is under new management:

I'm Alice Averlong now.

@foone Yo Alice 
@DotMaetrix Hiiiiya Dots, you cutie 😊
@foone awaaaa hiii 
@DotMaetrix I've recently been working on software to detect keysmashing and it's feature creeped into being able to detect meows & awas, and that "awaaaa" is going right in the test corpus

@foone

🐀 sup alice that's a cool name —mal

🦊 (her name's alice gray)

@matildalove it is a good name! proud to share it with you.

and gray goes great with it!

@foone Wasn't this averlong due?
@miodvallat god yes. at least since like 2012.
@foone Good to meet you again, Alice!
@foone nice name!!!! hallo alice!!
@foone Donk? Alice, explain yourself.
@somekindofgarf that's just the kind of noise the identity bus made when it hit me. it was the windows 95 error beep, which I always onomatopoeia'd as "donk"
@foone Alright, lore checks out
@foone @somekindofgarf of course your new name would arrive complete with a windows 95 sound effect. very on brand
@azonenberg @somekindofgarf yeah. I may be a whole new person, but I'm still Me.
@foone @somekindofgarf I would honestly have expected TADA.WAV but hey, you do you
@foone @somekindofgarf see i always heard it as "doonk" because it reminded me of those tubes where youd hit the side of them and theyd play a note, and i called those doonk tubes
@foone Bonjour Alice! 👋

@foone

congrats! that's a very euphonious name.

@munin Thanks. I thought about it for possibly way too long :)

@foone

I guess I'll allow it

@gloriouscow thanks for your blessing
@foone Bovine blessed be
@gloriouscow Hey I announced my name change in a lot of places, I've already gotten moo'd at. You're not the first cow to approve :)
@foone not the first cow, just the most glorious
@gloriouscow I give you a 🐄 emoji in reverence of your glory
@foone thank you i will put it in my display case full of prestigious cow awards
@gloriouscow isn't that just a farm
@foone oh hey reminder, any name change obligates picking a new fursona
@gloriouscow I didn't have one before, but maybe that'll change. I may very well join you in bovinity
Alice Averlong

My fursona is Rick Astley

Tumblr

@gloriouscow look, I've announced my fursona as a lot of things! You shouldn't take everything I say as canon.

also, I did a tumblr poll, and they voted my fursona was an angel. from evangelion.

@foone that's lame

you should be Captain Janeway but an Ocelot or Something

@foone Yo, Alice, good to meet you! I trust you'll still be geekin' out w/old computer hardware?
@GeePawHill probably. Maybe less so in some areas, but I'm not really certain yet.

@foone Well, you got a lot goin' on. I certainly get ebb and flow.

I had a whole blather to offer here, but instead I'll just say, welcome!
