Default change username but keep address of personal homepage with oldusername?

Hi to all,

I'm sure there has to be an easy way of doing this but I am fairly new
to Apache so it would be great if someone could help me with this:

I recently reinstalled our server and during that process I decided to
give myself a new username.
Now of course my personal homepage, which used to be at

http://domainname/~old_username

now is at

http://domainname/~new_username

It would be great if there was a way to configure Apache (2.2 that is)
to automatically redirect visitors that try to load my homepage with
the old address to the new one. I was thinking some sort of Alias
would do the trick or maybe a redirect, but I can't figure out how.

Thanks, Jan
