Remove and restructure the ‘Howdy’ line. Props to Ozh for <a href="http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/no-howdy-a-plugin-for-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">No Howdy</a>.
People have always seemed to complain about the ‘Howdy’ on the admin pages. I personally don’t care about the use of the word but think that the ‘Howdy area’ could be more functional and user friendly.

Yesterday, a client told me that he was sick of starring at “Howdy” in the WordPress admin interface. 
He told me it made him want to punch his computer in the face. 
He asked me if I could replace it with something like “Hello, Your Majesty”
After I stopped laughing and picked myself up off the floor, I coded this plugin that will change Howdy to a different, random greeting.

Kill Howdy

Changes the text Howdy in the admin interface to a different greeting.
