Yesterday I acquired a new domain name,
www.dotneticated.com, thanks to GoDaddy backordering. It’s a name that
came to me a couple of weeks ago, and I think it makes sense.
There are several dozen English language words that end in
“icated”, some of the more technical ones are:
- authenticated
- communicated
- dedicated
- duplicated
- indicated
- syndicated
- sophisticated
- replicated
- complicated
Can you guess which one I was thinking of when I got the
domain? Dedicated, and not servers. I have worked with a lot of my technologies
in my career; Java, PHP, Perl, ColdFusion, ASP.old, VB.old, etc. From time to time I find myself needing to
work with MS.old technologies, and that’s ok (slightly), but I could not
imagine having to go back and do Java or ColdFusion again. I am .NETicated! It’s the best thing to happen to Windows
since Aldus
PageMaker. I would like to make the
domain some sort of community site for like-minded .NETicated geeks. The real question is: What do .NETicated
geeks need or want that isn’t currently out there?
For now the domain will point here, to my .NETicated blog at
Platinum Bay. I am certainly open to
suggestions, so send them on in.
