Under Construction notice at Code Ledger

During these past few days, I’ve been facing a new dilemma – choosing a domain name for a website where I can showcase my code and talk about algorithms and arithmetic. Despite owning a beautiful blog such as this, I feel that it wouldn’t really be very useful on my resume. After all, prospective employers would rather see my code than read my personal journal – or so I hope.

Among the many names that came to mind were – notmysegfault (too unprofessional), almostcode (almost?) and compileandrun (taken). In fact, most of the names I could think of were taken. Frustrated by the fact that most of these domains had been snapped up by domain squatters who were using them for absolutely nothing, and inspired by the idea of having a code “journal”, I took the obvious next step – looking up synonyms for journal.

Thanks to my handy thesaurus, I finally found a decent domain name that wasn’t taken – http://www.codeledger.com. Of course, I wouldn’t have settled for it if it hadn’t been for the apparent fame of Web Design Ledger, which proved to me that people know how to spell ledger and even remember such names.

So, what will this website be about? As I said, algorithms and arithmetic, with a bit of software engineering for good measure. I will also put my resume up for download there, which means Code Ledger will mostly be about sharing knowledge with a small amount of self-marketing.

Needless to say, I’m hyped. And you should be, too!
