Sub-Domain Ideas

So obvi­ously I own my domain (forsbergville.com). After read­ing about map­ping my MX records for email to Google Apps, I started think­ing of other ideas for my sub­do­mains (cur­rent and future). Sub-Domain Ideas www.forsbergville.com should resolve to pri­mary domain on web­host (of course) eric.forsbergville.com should resolve to this blog angela.forsbergville.com should resolve to her blog hik­ing.forsbergville.com should resolve to my hik­ing blog files.forsbergville.com should resolve to my Drop­box (www.getdropbox.com) music.forsbergville.com should resolve to Apache run­ning at home on my media server chat.forsbergville.com should resolve to to jab­ber server run­ning on my web host mail.forsbergville.com should resolve to google apps per this post legacy.forsbergville.com should resolve to a Telnet/ssh java-based con­trol on a black back­ground web­page that is auto­mat­i­cally attempt­ing to login to the web­server using ssh (green let­ter­ing — yeah). Installed tools would include Gopher, Lynx, Pico, Pine, etc. Just for fun. The ideas will keep com­ing I’m sure, but I think that this is a great start!

Busy installing and test­ing plug-in’s for the blog today. The list is quite large, but I am sat­is­fied that, despite the amount of plug-in’s, I have the bare essen­tials for my design and usabil­ity desires. I snatched a few ideas from this won­der­ful arti­cle as well: From: The 13 Most Essen­tial Plu­g­ins for Word­Press — NETTUTS Word­Press is a very pow­er­ful and flex­i­ble blog/content man­age­ment sys­tem, but the thou­sands of plu­g­ins really help to extend the basic func­tion­al­ity. Here are 13 essen­tial plu­g­ins that you should imme­di­ately install after fin­ish­ing the Word­Press installation.

GoDaddy Domain to Google Apps to Email Bliss

So I am seri­ously con­sid­er­ing now renew­ing my MobileMe/.Mac account when it comes up in 9 months. This is — indeed — quite a bit of type-a over-planning-in-advance, I real­ize, but please bear with me here: I need to get my saved IMAP fold­ers off MobileMe now! I want it on my GoDaddy account now because I get free email there with my host­ing and domain plans! My f-ing domain is there man … I want my username@mac.com saved mes­sages moved — now. See there? Just had a mas­sive type-a attack — right there, lit­er­ally via my fin­ger­tips thru the key­board out over the Inter­nets and to your inter­net con­nec­tion to your high-speed modem (prob­a­bly) then to a router (still — most have one, nut I real­ize I am now lim­it­ing my audi­ence, yes, how­ever if you are a red­neck on dial-up — still — ? You won’t ever read my blog any­how. I didn’t code it for you bro — you are lit­er­ally learn­ing e-Bay at this very moment, try­ing des­per­ately to fig­ure out why it takes so very long to load-up every image) .. [where was I?
