One domain (a separate one I didn't list because someone had already asked about it) transferred to a good home. Three domains I've still got and am willing to transfer to a good home to keep them from the domain squatters:

• static.quest
• theprodigalsbrother.com
• verboseguacamole.com

@amin

You've given up on writing The Prodigal's Brother? Or is it because the story has a new name?
I like the VerboseGuacamole name. You may miss that one later on.

@RL_Dane

Because I've got the new title/format, it doesn't really make sense to keep the old domain. And I probably should've used a subdomain to begin with. :)

I like the VerboseGuacamole name. You may miss that one later on.

I do too, it's just… I haven't used it for anything in three years. And that's $30 in registration fees I paid to do nothing with it. Keeping paying seems… irresponsible. Honestly though I've let go of a lot of domains in the last year and I think I might just hold on to that one if no one here asks for it. Keep it away from the squatters a little longer just in case.

If I have a project down the road that calls for an avocado-related domain, I do have one idea for a cool one that I doubt anyone else will think of, saved in reserve. (the reason I haven't already gone for it is that the TLD is an expensive one, but… for the right project that can be waived.)

@amin

Where are you posting the story ("Coriolis," right?) now?

@RL_Dane

Nowhere at the moment; I don't have any ready for publication. But it'll probably be coriolis.benjaminhollon.com. Or if that's too long, I could also do coriolis.benhollon.com. ;)

@amin

Maybe get a really short URL like amin.my for link sharing ;)

@RL_Dane

.my is actually the Malaysia TLD. ;)

They just removed the residency requirement, which is… a little sad, to be honest. Hopefully the same thing doesn't happen as happened to Serbia's .rs domain and the Rust community.

@RL_Dane

In seriousness though URL shortening is not generally something I approve of. The downsides tend to outweigh the benefits.
