3. Software Review

Domain Name Analyser Professional
http://www.findgoodnames.com

I wish this tool had been around 5+ years ago when the frustration at not being able to find a suitable name to match up to our business name (which had been chosen sometime before when several acceptable derivatives were still available - another lesson, get 'em when they're there, as they won't last long!) led me to grab something, www.aquatee.com that is less than ideal.

The 'Construct Domain Names' feature allows you to build a list of words to prepend and/or append to a base word you want to concentrate. This will generate a complete list of names from which you can either say check the lot, or just select some to check for availability.

When you do check for availability you not only get informed of each names' availability, but if taken it lists the registry details of the person/company that registered it, whether it has had a IP address assigned to it (ie: whether there is a web site associated with it - or whether some one is just sitting on it).

You can save lists of names and regularly check them, you can export the checked lists to a web page, to a text file or to an Access Database for later analysis.

Even on a slow internet connection, like the one we have here, because it checks several names at the same time making the results available in quick time.

Trying to come up with a new domain name for a web site these days is often times not only difficult, but very frustrating as well. Domain Name Analyser (Professional) makes the job so much easier that I just couldn't imagine trying to do the job without it.

I rate it a 9.

5. Humor - Jest fer larfs...

An unemployed man goes to try for a job with Microsoft as a cleaner. The manager there arranges for an aptitude test. After the test, the manager says: "You will be appointed on a salary of $30 per day. Let me have your e-mail address, so that I can send you a form to complete and advise you where to report for work day."

Taken aback, the unemployed man states that he is neither in possession of a computer nor of an e-mail address. To this the MS manager replies: "Well, then, that means that you virtually don't exist and therefore cannot expect to be employed".

Stunned, the man leaves.

Not knowing where to turn and only having about $10 left, he decides to buy a 10 kg box of tomatoes at the supermarket. Within less than 2 hours, he sells the tomatoes singly at 100% profit. Repeating the process several times more that day, he ends up with almost $100. And thus it dawns on the man that he could quite easily make a living selling tomatoes.

Eventually he multiplies his hoard of profits in quite a short time.

Not long thereafter, he acquires a cart to transport several dozen boxes of tomatoes, only to have to trade it in again shortly afterwards on a pick-up truck.

By the end of the second year, he is the owner of a fleet of pick-up trucks and manages a staff of a hundred former unemployed people, all selling tomatoes.

Considering the future of his family, he decides to buy life insurance. Calling an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance plan to fit his new circumstances. At the end of the telephone conversation, the adviser asks for his e-mail address in order that he might forward the documentation.

When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the adviser is stunned: "What, you don't even have e-mail? How on earth have you managed to amass such wealth without the Internet, e-mail and e-commerce? Just imagine where you would have been by now, if you had been connected from the very start!"

After a moment's silence, the millionaire replied: "Sure! I would have been a cleaner at Microsoft!"

Morals of the story:

1: The Internet, e-mail and e-commerce do not need to rule your life.

2: If you don't have e-mail, but work hard, you can still become a millionaire.

3: Seeing that you got this story via e-mail / internet, you're probably closer to becoming a cleaner than you are to becoming a millionaire.

4: If you do have a computer and e-mail, you're already been taken to the cleaners by Microsoft


And remember...

   Following the rules will not get the job done.  And...
   Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.

:-)
