Atomic Playboy

My site is in a severe state of disarray and neglect. Lots to do in school (ADO.NET and datagrids, oh my), not really much to do outside of school but time still disappears into a black hole.

That may have something to do with the fact that I started playing a MMORPG. EVE Online is a major timesink. It’s not an obsession (”I can quit anytime I want!”) yet, though. But it still manages to be quite the timesink. More on EVE in a later entry.

I haven’t made any announcement about it yet, but if you’ve visited the site outside of your news aggregator of choice, you have probably noticed the domain switch.

The bomb will not start a chain reaction in the water, converting it all to gas and letting all the ships on all the oceans drop down to the bottom. It will not blow out the bottom of the sea and let all the water run down the hole. It will not destroy gravity. I am not an atomic playboy. Vice Admiral William P. Blandy, Commander of Operation Crossroads

I’ve had “I am not an atomic playboy!” as my IRC name (not nickname) for years and years. I heard the quote as a sample in song by Purple Motion and Skaven, made for the now classic demo Second Reality.

I didn’t really think much about it, but I stumbled upon the quote again the other day. And then it clicked: that would be a perfect domain name! Lo and behold, it was available as well.

I will have an easier time establishing a visual identity for the phrase “atomic playboy” than for “frozen skies.” So effective some days ago, atomicplayboy.net is the new domain around here.

Thanks to some DNS magic, any request to the old domain will be transparently redirected to the new domain. I’d appreciate it if you changed any links here to the new domain, though.
