I've been slowly working my way through name-change stuff at work. First I had to wait for the marriage certificate to arrive, then there were the Social Security thing and the driver's license thing (which are a story in and of themselves), and then I had to start changing things at work. The new Social Security card was a prerequisite for the work stuff.
So today, more than a month and a half after my marriage, I finally got around to changing my username on my work PC. Since I use Linux, this was incredibly simple. Become root, edit /etc/passwd, edit /etc/shadow, rename home directory, and voilà. Everything works perfectly under the new username, and I don't have to reconfigure a single thing. Linux rocks!
