Moving Tip #28

With the help of my good friend Malcolm over the next few days, I’ll be moving this blog over to GALVANIZD.com after signing with my new host as well as moving over to a Wordpress platform. I’ll be playing around with the layout and we’ll see how that turns out.

However, my writing won’t be interrupted in the meantime. Next up… a post on my experiences with reading David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) and implementing his system of organization and productivity along with some other tricks and “tech” I’ve learned before coming across his material.

Additionally, after several failed attempts at completing a fully-fledged tempo run in the gym (something about running around in circles that drives me nuts!), I opted to run outside in the blistering cold and just got back after completing my first successful tempo run!

For a while I was mulling on trying to snatch a domain name that were either:

1. www.galvanized.ca
2. www.galvanized.com
3. www.galvanized.net

Or some combination thereof. I had logged onto Sedo.com in order to see what the bid process for galvanized.ca would be… and got a response… $6000!!!

Crazy stuff eh? Considering I’m a very tight budget, and living a frugal lifestyle by staying within a budget of $20 a week - it hasn’t been the smoothest of rides.

I realized today that a lot of startup web companies names have their domain names mispelled. For instance, flickr.com or “lookr.com” etc. As long as it SOUNDS fine, you’re still good to go in terms of marketing, simplicity in a domain name and ease to remember.

So I give you.. GALVANIZD.com! Haha.. cost me about $10.45 after registering via NetFirms.ca, but this will definitely be something fun to learn from and re-embrace the inner computer nerd persona I shed years ago.

I’m definitely gonna have to tap Malcolm, Josh or Garmond in order to get some help in getting this thing up and running.. haa
