Turn and face the strange changes suckers! Actually, there may not be any changes, but there may be major changes. I’m being forced from my currently free hosting plan into a paid (albeit very inexpensive) plan with the same provider. I’ll actually have loads more storage and bandwidth available, both of which will probably never be fully utilized due to the underwhelming nature of this blog.
My question to you, faithful reader, is should I take this opportunity to rename the site? I’ve been toying with the idea for a while as I’ve never truly been satisfied with “artificallyimportant.” I could just let sleeping dogs lie, but I’ve got another domain available to me with the purchase of this new hosting plan. I’m also planning on switching the blog over to WordPress soon which would result in a slight redesign of the site. I couldn’t think of a better time to rebrand than now. What do you kids think? Any objections? Any inspired ideas for the new site address?
Also, let’s here it for cheese! Am I right?!
I’d love to hear from anyone and everyone, and that includes the (supposedly) hundreds of viewers that visit here daily and never comment. Who are you mysterious interlopers anyway?
I like AI name but how bout:
1.7 - “unworkD”
or “Clean state”
I can’t figure out how to get my comment to post…..
Hmm, this could be a tough one b. I’ve gotten used to the “artificial”.
But this predicament is like when a band names themselves after a drunken stupor or an inside joke and people start to listen to their music they get stuck to that name.
However, artificiallyimportant is well thought out. But being of the kind that desires newness, I think it’d be cool to rename it also. Since I’m at work and your blog has gotten me into quite a few troubles before (I spend too much time thinking about names, blah, blah, blah…), I can’t expound right now on a name.
How about titling it after an Autechre song from Ep7. That’d be apropos, no?!
“Ccec”
“Liccflii”
“Netlon Sentinel”
or anything from Conway Twitty, Wesley Willis, the “Thelma & Louise” soundtrack…
‘Nessa - Your comment is indeed posted, but you’re illustrating one of the key points in my decision to switch from Blogger to WordPress. I want more control over the comments submission form and less confusion for visitors.
G-Love - Actually the current name for the site came about as an attempt to make a statement on the nature of personal blogs as a whole. I originally wanted the name to be artificalimportance.com (a play on “artificial intelligence”), but someone was witty long before me.
There’s certainly not enough of a following to this blog to warrant keeping the old name. Fact of the matter is that it will expire eventually, and my new domain will be rolled into the cost of my hosting plan. I could save upwards of $5 a year, which instantly translates into a half a latte at $tarbucks!
YO Ice T, love. I tried calling yo buddah couple tonight but me thinks you bedded up early. I hear you, I just dig the name a lot but I wasn’t trying to say that it was made superfulously. Call me up b. I think I heard the phone beep, lemme check if that is you.pACE
I like the name.
you have at least one spineless lurker.
if it were up to me there would be a painting a week on here.(and on minikopneumeric as well)
I think I know who that lurker is, and if I’m correct, he actually has one of the fanciest spines around.
I agree a painting would be nice. It’s on my “must do as soon as baby allows” list. Watch this space!
so, “watch this space” is probably taken, right?
Indeed it is. However, “whatsthisspace.com” is still available.
Change it if it makes it easier for your loyal viewers!
One of your mysterious interlopers!
