  • Reflects the "nature" of this site.
  • Is still pretty generic.
  • Is "cool".

  • Is short and pregnant.

  • Is short and easy to remember.
  • Doesn't cost millions.

    • So I think that foo.zone is the perfect match. It's a bit geeky, but so is this site. The meta-syntactic variable relates to computer science and programming, so does this site. Other than that, staying in this sphere, it's a pretty generic name.

    To be in the .zone and not in a .surf club

    I was pretty happy finding out that foo.zone was still available for registration. I stumbled across it just yesterday while I was playing around my new authoritative DNS servers. I was actually quite surprised, as usually such short SLDs (second level domains), especially "foo", are all taken already.

    Furthermore, I almost chose "foo.surf" over "foo.zone" as in "surfing this site", but then decided against it as I would have to tell everyone that I am not into water surfing. Well, on the other hand, I now might need to explain to non-programmers that I am not a fan of the rock band "Foo Fighters". But that will be acceptable, as I don't expect "normal" people visiting the foo zone as much anyway. If you reached as far, I have to congratulate you. You are not a normal person.

    As a funny bit, I almost chose "foo.surf" over "foo.zone" as in "surfing this site", but then decided against it as I would have to tell everyone that I am not into water sports so much. Well, on the other hand, I now may have to explain to non-programmers that I am not a fan of the rock band "Foo Fighters". But that will be acceptable, as I don't expect "normal" people visiting the foo zone as much anyway. If you reached as far, I have to congratulate you. You are not a normal person.

    What about my old hosts

    The host buetow.org will stay. However, not as the primary address for this site. I will keep using it for my personal internet infrastructure as well as for most of my E-Mail addresses. I don't know what I am going to do with snonux.de in the long run. .de SLDs (for Germany) are pretty cheap, so I might just keep it for now.
