Darn, I applied to y'all for the Durham location in July but got a rejection after a week. I wonder if my resume - which I've tweaked since - was the issue. Wonder if it's worth applying again?

It was difficult to figure out how to set an avatar at first, I had to go under my stream page and edit there, rather than in the settings. Maybe I'm confused between the distinction between a user and a stream?
Of course -- YMMV, and you should definitely back up your database before.
If you want to check how many bits your key is, use
ssh-keygen -l -f ~/.ssh/your_key.pub
(It wasn't mine, while it is an older key, mine is larger than 768 thankfully)
Edit: look at timdorr's example for a better visual.
I'm from New Hampshire, which has a very small black population (less than 2% I believe). It was always awkward when girlfriend's parents would make a big deal about "Oh my god you're dating a black man?" when they would tell their parents my name.
Another story is when I was in college, I joined a fraternity. The only black member at the time was disappointed, when we met he said, "Aw man, I thought you were black!"
My last story also is from college. I moved into a dorm where I had a black room mate named Jared. People would confuse him for me, and vice versa, a lot if they hadn't met either of us, but needed something from us. Saying to me "Is Tyrel around? Oh I thought you were Jared..." and the opposite to him I presume.
Over all, I don't have many problems with my name, but I do wish it wasn't people's first impression of me. I try to put my face as my avatar on everything, hoping that people aren't discriminating against my name when they do research on me, but that they discriminate for my abilities.
