Just when you thought I had settled on a domain name, I decide not to! Hah!
I’m going to be moving this site from tamasrepus.rhombic.net to samat.org. Some reasons why:
- It’s actually available
- It’s short
- It’s more me and is more personal (Samat IS my name)
- Less connection with my company, Rhombic Networks
Some negatives:
- This is the… 4th or 5th time I’ve changed domains? I’m going to write up a history page one day…
- It’s eerily similar to my friend Sudarshan’s domain.
While I am going to keep the same Drupal setup, expect some stuff to break. URLs hopefully will remain the same (as they have with tamasrepus.rhombic.net and tamasrepus.hotnudiegirls.com). I think I am going to try to figure out something fancy, such as a script that will issue HTTP status 301 (permanent redirect), which Google respects, so the old URLs don’t stay in search engines forever.
