I have entered an elite group on the web…

I have my own domain name.

God it feels good. No longer will I struggle with long or cryptic URLs. No longer am I just a user on another man’s site. I am the webmaster now. I make the rules. I make the error documents. I make it all.

Why did I do it? Two reasons. First, I’ve known for a long time that I had to do it. Everyone who’s anyone on the web has his own domain name. Second, the price just went down. Thirty percent of the cost used to go to some sort of special Internet fund, but that arrangement expired on March 31.

So now I am officially “randomness.com,” and man, I feel cool. Of course, I also had to move all my web pages, but hey, that’s life.
