Domain Mania

I’ve been trying to come up with some permanent domain name for my and family personal sites and e-mails with no results for a while now. Yesterday I mentioned this to Artem, who immediately registered his last name as a domain. Lucky him. Mine (last name and all possible variations) were taken a long time ago.

Artem proceeded to hook up his domain to Google Apps per my suggestion, which was exactly what I wanted to do. E-mail on my own domain through Gmail interface. For free too.

Either way, I pretty much gave up on the “name” domain and complained about it to Alex. He spent a while coming up with all kinds of ideas when in the end he came up with a bit of gem: rubinary.com. It’s the next best thing to rubin.com itself, I think. Has a name in it with a suffix which suggests a place for Rubins (as in planetary), and has a word binary in it. This is a binary — digital — virtual ‘verse we’re in after all, right?

This is where it all ended. Domain is registered and that’s what I’m going to stick to for the foreseeable future. All the members of the family are hooked up with personal emails as well. Those who know me well won’t have a problem figuring out what my new e-mail is.

P.S. Looks like Alex ended up with a domain of his own after all too.
P.P.S. No more confusion with zeros in DR2ooo.com. New domain points to this blog as well.
