adam.com is mine!

by Adam on July 15, 2008

I am proud to announce that I am finally the owner of the domain adam.com… well, sort of. Let me explain; see the domain adam.com is owned by ADAM, Inc. a health benefit company of sorts and no matter how nice I asked I doubt that ADAM, Inc. (considering their company name) would be willing to part with the domain. So, how did I get the domain adam.com you ask? In a fit of geek inspiration I thought “binary!”

01100001011001000110000101101101.com

That string of 0s and 1s the binary bits that run our modern world when converted to text spells “adam”. Fortunately for me the domain 01100001011001000110000101101101.com was available; so I registered it. Now I can sleep at night knowing that I finally have the domain adam.com… sort of.

update

by Adam on June 18, 2008

This post (and the changes it refers to) was trumped by this one.


Changed theme, adjusting things… some stuff might look funny or be broken.

Update to the update:

Things are back up and running full swing(ish). Awaiting Inspiration is now using the Simplr theme by Scott it’s a beautifully simplistic, full featured theme that I feel works with Awaiting Inspiration very well. I have also implemented SlideShowPro for some posts, it’s a nice, easy to use and implement image gallery. I have also decided to limit the ads to to showing at the end of every post and only on posts that are longer than say a paragraph. Ads won’t show on the home page or in the middle of posts anymore. While this may not be a smart thing from a profit stand point, I don’t care… I haven’t made a dime from AdSense which makes one wonder why I keep running them but I guess I haven’t given up on the idea completely. I will also, when relevant (like in this post) link to Amazon for products. Clicking on those links and buying the product will result in Amazon paying me but like AdSense this has yet to happen, I don’t care and I’m not holding my breath… I just figure… why not?

Also, Awaiting Inspiration comments now support gravatars. If you don’t have a gravatar the system will generate a unique MonsterID for you; which is actually funner that gravatars.

In case your wondering the Tandy is handling the changes just fine.
