Just as I was about to go to sleep last night my brain decided it was going to come up with an idea:

  • namespace is shortened to 'ns' as in xmlns
  • the now namespace could therefore be written nowns
  • which sounds like nouns
  • so updates shared using the now namespace could be called nowns
  • and I should check the availability of domains

So, I've been looking and am wondering about the following:

  • nowns.today: fits with the idea of now
  • nowns.live: 'live' updates, fits the theme again
  • nowns.info: information about the namespace
  • nowns.work: as in "nowns work to share updates"

I could get a good deal on .work for the first year but think it goes up significantly after that.

.ns doesn't appear to exist as a TLD so now.ns is not an option. Even if it did it would likely be a country specific domain and I'm always dubious about tying things to them. It would also likely be too expensive.

🤔

"I haven't quite hit exactly what I mean by this post, but that's the beauty of blogging. I'll keep “thinking out loud” and one of these days I'll really hit on what I mean."

As the post says "Beauty in writing is like beauty in everything else" but it has to be "properly deployed" – there has to be balance. There is an inherent beauty in the craft yet not everything can be beautiful all the time; beauty gets its power from contrast.

The rough edges, the mistakes, are as valid and as vital as the beauty.
