It's been seven years, guess it's time to mix things up a bit in the display name department.

The above post has either aged extremely poorly, or extremely well. Can't wait to find out which.

It would make things a lot easier for me if the planet was smaller, could someone get on that please? Those oceans can't all be necessary right? Seems like there's a lot of redundancy there that could be done away with.

One of our device management systems creates a description string with the username of the owner and the date it was first registered on initial connection.

It's not parsed or used for sorting so it affects nothing, but the fact that it uses the US date format in there forever makes me grumpy every time I see something like "wait how was that device registered before it was delivered?" or similar.

ISO8601, programmer jerks. Use it.

I'd kind of considered holding back the new theme and setup for the seventh anniversary of this instance but I don't want to wait that long. I keep flipping through posts on the test instance and it's so much nicer. I'm going to push this to live on the weekend and tweak it as we go.
