Please, Lord, not another one

Most of the time when I want to come to my blog, I go to the URL field and type the first “tr” of “trapezoidalinclination.com” before I realize it’s wrong.

I refuse to buy another domain. I refuse.

    I have kind of the opposite problem, really: I recently purchased hitlermustache.com on a crazy impulse and have no idea what to do with it, and I still have to get the content at secularsavior.com up and running.

    Do what I did when I got abevigoda.com: put some silly, dumbass one-page thing up, and then forget about it for four years.

    hitlermustache.com, you could take bunch of celebrity photos, draw a mustache on them, and have a new one every day. There ya go, kid, now scram!

    secularsavior, you’re on your own.

    You type? What, did a bookmark beat you up during your street urchin days?

    Yeah, I dunno, some places I just don’t bookmark. Like Chris’s site, I don’t know any other sites that start with “hl”, so it’s pretty easy.

    Hehe, thanks!

    I also rarely bookmark, and even if I do, it gets lost in the sea of billions of other things I’ve bookmarked just for reference, so I never use it anyway. I can usually remember what the URLs are for the sites I check on a daily or near-daily basis.

    I only bookmark sites I figure I will want to visit again eventually, but not necessarily visit regularly.

    Otherwise, I often type in the URL by hand, or at least cut-n-paste it.

    I have, however, heard of another technique that I may consider. Collect all your bookmarks in an Excel spreadsheets, and memorize the cell position for the URL. Then use macros so you only have to type in the cell position to get the full URL.

    Actually, I wrote myself up a little portal page that serves as a home page at work, home, and on my cell phone. It’s got all the links to sites I check daily or weekly. Anything less frequent than that goes into the bookmarks. So point taken, but still.

    I could use Excel, or I could jam live chickens up my rectum. Either way, the Elder Gods will still be displeased.
