    Ah yes, Chronomancy, the art of telling the future by waiting to see what happens.

  2. Lore Sjoberg by nganju · · Score: 2, Informative · on The Ultimate Blog Post

    Lore Sjoberg is probably best known for his hilarious, now defunct website Brunching Shuttlecocks, and the "Ratings" column he used to write on that website. You can still read the past columns right here. The ones about classic video games and Dungeons & Dragons characters are especially funny.

    "Many say that DOS is the dark side, but actually UNIX is more like the dark side: It's less likely to find the one way to destroy your incredibly powerful machine, and more likely to make upper management choke." Lore Sjoberg, in the Book of Ratings So it doesn't apply so strictly to Windows and Linux these days. This was a long time ago, in... you know.

    The only ones that seem to have been enforced, and thus seem worth keeping, are edu and mil.

    What about .int? I don't even know how someone goes about registering a .int domain, but I don't think they're easy to get.

    To answer your question, if you want the the domain name to be the same as your actual name, the correct tld for you is supposed to be .name. (Otherwise, you're right that there is not particularly good tld for personal sites).

    To add a little levity, here's the (rather old) Brunching Shuttlecoks' ratings of tld's, which even references /. : http://www.bookofratings.com/tld.html
