Thoughts before Alt .NET Seattle: Part II: Using jrcs3.com

I am going to Alt.Net 2011 Seattle Conference next weekend. Since I am not on the bleeding edge of technology at work, I’m looking into modern methods and technologies.

Using my domain

Several years ago, I bought the domain jrcs3.com; it the initials for my legal name John Robert Chilton Stephens III.

Since I will be hanging out with the cool kid and in technology, all the cool kids have vanity domain, I need to make sure that my domain is visible on my cards, etc. So this weekend I:

• Moved this blog from jrcs3.blogspot.com to brochure.jrcs3.com (it is “brochure” because someone said that it isn’t a blog until it gets comments).
• Created a jrcs3.com event email address for the Alt.Net Seattle 2011. You will have to attend the event to see what it is.

When I get my next paycheck (Monday or Tuesday) I will:

• Buy a year of hosting for jrcs3.com
• Write a simple home page for it in Razor (linking to brochure.jrcs3.com). I have already created a WebMatrix project.
• Print out a couple of sheets of business cards to hand out.
