Well you definitely have an interesting username/hostname.

It's because I don't pay anything extra on my single user instance. (I have an internet connection that's provided/subsidized by my work and the software/db runs on an old laptop that I had lying around.)

The lack of flexibility on the hostname is the price I pay for not needing to pay for the hostname, and I figure that if I'm stuck with that kind of hostname, then I should have a username that matches.

I love that reason, it makes so much sense to me! Thanks for sharing
