IStock_000004888482XSmallIf you’re been around the net for as long as I have, you would know that your domain name is VERY imporant. I’ve spend as much as 2 month to pick a good domain for the projects that I’m working on. I think someone forgot to send the memo to the guys who were responsible for the following 10 worst URLs!

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
www.gotahoe.com

There are two kinds of Linux people in the world, those that will
help people fix their Windows spyware problems, and those that will
not. I land squarely in the former camp, and I think that it’s
important for us all to consider doing the same.

First, I have to clarify what I mean by, “Linux Person” — because there is a difference between a Linux user,
and what I coin as a Linux Person. Most people I consider “Linux
People” are very well versed in technology. They can usually fix any
computer problem they’re presented, regardless of operating system, and
have an inherent ability to logically solve computer problems in
general. We’re geeks. We’re also knowledgeable enough to realize that
Linux is a good thing on many levels. We want Linux to be the
operating system of choice, because it makes the most sense. We
understand the idea of Free software, and we also understand the
advantages of free software (beer vs speech thing). As a group,
however, we tend to stink the place up when it comes to evangelism.
