grepunderstanding.com

http://grepunderstanding.com

So what’s better? dmiessler.com or grepunderstanding.com ?

Edit: Ok, so it looks like I’m going to keep my internal structure the same but change any public links and public displays to grepunderstanding.com. That raises a question, though — what should the tagline be? (WordPress asks for one) My previous one was “grep understanding knowledge”, but that’s rather redundant now.

Do you guys know of any other geeky ideas that would fit with the theme? A couple thoughts:

grepunderstanding.com — grep understanding knowledge grepunderstanding.com — wisdom > knowledge grepunderstanding.com — for i in ∞, learn()

:) Any other thoughts?

    Dmiessler.com is shorter.. less to type in.. i like grep understanding more as a tagline than a URL.

    Should've seen that coming.
    Inside the parens should be the word 'knowledge' in angle brackets.

    The "wisdom > knowledge" is the rest of the Unix command - so it's "grep understanding wisdom > knowledge"

    ...looking for "understanding" in a file called "wisdom" and writing (over-writing!) a file called "knowledge"

    I'd say that knowledge is a prereq for wisdom, though. Where can I file a bug report?
    (kidding)

    I like the redundancy you have now. The ".com" kind of breaks the Unix-y part anyhow.

    But if you're looking for alternatives...
    How about
    learn while(1);
    or
    push @understanding while ();

    maybe drop the punctuation in that last one to *really* confuse people.

    the "wisdom > knowledge" looks too much like an arrow as in "wisdom becomes knowledge" or some such thing when I know that your intent is "is greater than". I'm not sure how to clarify that. Perhaps you should use some UNIX commands (use a | somehow). Don't ask me ... I'm still grading exams. :)

    Nah, I appreciate the thoughts. I am going to keep both pointing to the site, actually. I'm just wondering if I should change all the WordPress stuff to orient around the new domain or keep it the same.

    Anyway, thanks for the thoughts. :)
  • Brian
    Both - they virtual hosts anyhow, right?
    'grepunderstanding' is easier to remember.
    For me.
    I'm new here...

    But certainly keep the one that's your name!

    Maybe I should go back to lurking, instead of being actively unhelpful...
