A simple finalization of a rebrand!

Hello!

I'm Ben! AKA ItsShmoogle

Hailing from 'sunny' old England, I've been here on HIVE since just before the fork and have been an avid user and appreciator of both is many great features and critic of it's many failings.

Over the many years I used to be know by my old account @shmoogleosukami which was also my internet handle across many platforms.

I had rebranded making my name more.. plateable, marketable and easier to read by changing it to itsshmoogle quite some time ago and hive has been one of the things I was reluctant to change since it was only an 'accountname' change as such but required starting fresh on a brand new account.

But having watch @empoderat move to a brand new account now @ferranlogs, It motivated me to just.. DO IT.

Since I know in my heart that a future rebrand is never going to happen, as I'm truly happy with my online alias at this point it makes little sense not to just get it done and dusted!

Hence why I am now re-introducing myself!

The old account! Now my witness account!

My old account @shmoogleosukami is now solely used as my witness account! Yes I do run a witness node! I'm hanging around the 70s ranking and have been running a witness for over 4 years! So as not to start that whole grind again I simple keep things as they are.

So who am I really!

Well I'm a 'streamer' over on twitch.tv, by no means a popular one but hey I do get some cool people popping by now and then.

I stream because I enjoy it and have the means to do so. It's my primary hobby at this time and also my primary means of social interaction.

Other interests are obviously computers, server etc. I have my own server machine here at home which runs my witness among other things. I like to tinker with websites and code, though I'm a little out of practice.

If I can keep my head on straight for more than a day I may actually do something worth while with these skills! XD

Outside of streaming well, I'm suffer from a number of chronic illnesses as well as being autistic, these make it impossible for me to work and crippling social anxiety means I don't get outside at all and don't really meet people face to face. It's a pretty terrible life to be honest.

I'm cared for by my dad @unkidrik and I try to make the most of things the best I can.

So not much to be said really out side of streaming haha..

Anyway moving on!

Final thoughts

Going to be spending some time getting things squared away and sorted out over the next few days, deciding if I'm going to move assets or not (probably will eventually).

I need new footer assets and a new banner making to make everything look extra fancy!
