Yesterday, was officially the first day of
Fall and boy does if feel like it this morning. It's almost frosty. Being Colorado, the sun is (as ever) shining, and we'll be warmed up in no time.

For now, however, I'm staying in bed, repleat with a large mug of tea, and my Macintosh laptop.

What do you think of the new style of pop-up
footnotes? I pilfered the Javascript source code from Jodi's site. However, unlike these people with Moveable Type, I hand-crank all my code in a
text editor, including all links and Javascript code.

The geeks among you will see it as me "kickin' it old skool", whilst the rest of you will see it as me being a cheap bastard.

Perhaps the geeks among you can tell me how to get rid of these extraneous line breaks that the Blogger system seems to insist on putting in, despite my best efforts.

As it's the weekend, I'm taking a day off from panicking about looking for a job, and thinking about the future of
EID.

In short, it's time to get serious, and move from the freebie, all web-based Blogspot system, to something with a little more permanence.

I've identified a really good deal on web hosting at ICDSoft. It offers way more capacity than any other deal at this price, than I've seen elsewhere, and all their user reviews have been very positive.

I'm also going to have to see about getting some good blogging software. It'll need to be Mac-based software, so I welcome recommendations.

I'm on the verge of writing my own, PC-Based, software, mainly in an attempt to keep my technical skills sharpened after so long out of work. I suppose ultimately, if there's nothing suitable for the Mac platform (something which I doubt) I could develop my own stuff for the Mac, but I really want to get going with this ASAP.

So, with that all set decided, I have one more thing to consider. A domain name.

I already have my own domain - turnerzone.com - and I could use that, however, it's not very indicative of what's to be found at EID. Given that ICDSoft can get me a freshly minted domain, registered for a mere $5, it'd almost be rude not to take them up on their offer, and come up with a new domain name, specifically for EID.

So, dear readers, this is where you come in. I need suggestions for a domain name. The obvious one is englishmanindenver.com, which is available, but a bit lengthy. Furthermore, as I can't be sure I'll be remaining in Denver, it could become very in appropriate, should I find myself living in Europe, or another part of the US or Canada.

So leave a comment and/or email, and give me some inspiration. It doesn't have to include any part of my name, or a reference to my nationality or location, but it can if you want.

I look forward to hearing some ideas!
