I switched my domain. It took a few hours, many Googlings of error messages, and a couple mini heart attacks. As a non-techie, it feels so satisfying when you can successfully carry something out that involves a digital task that breaks out of the bounds of the comfy, squishy user interface that I’m usually lazily bundled inside. I’m also always amazed at how magic command line interfaces seem…when you can move files around, install things, do this and that, from just a few swipes at the keyboard. I wish I could make more time to become fluent in it.
Anyway, my old domain name, “Pragmalogi”, was just a random word I made out of the concept Pragmatism. I have a few more variations of it that I made when I had my William-James-life-epiphany-moment last year. I sort of have a minor problem buying domains…sometimes, sadly, in lieu of actually getting a project done. Buying the domain for a project seems to make it come alive in a way that feels constructive in the most counterproductive way.
Now my website’s hosted on NearlyFreeSpeech.Net instead of DreamHost. Woohoo!
