The fall of thewhitehawk.com

July 28th, 2009 § 0

On the 11th of  October thewhitehawk.com will be no more.

Wait! Don’t go yet…

No, I’m not going anywhere, and no I won’t stop writing. If anything at all, I’ll write a bit more. From that that onwards, or even a bit earlier, the site’s new domain will be http://jard.im which is my last name.

I decided to focus on my name a bit more than a nickname. I’m not famous enough to use a cool domain name like “unstoppablerobotninja“, and trying to have a portuguese person, possibly a future customer or employer spell out or remember “thewhitehawk” is next to impossible.

At first I was thinking of buying marcojardim.com, but the current owner wanted €5000 euros for it (lol!), so I looked around a bit more, and when I found out that jard.im was available I was immediately tempted because not only is it incredibly short, but easy enough for portuguese and non-portuguese people alike to memorize.

I have to admit that if it wasn’t for Jonno I probably wouldn’t have bought it so soon, and I’m glad he supported the idea. So look forward to the new domain name very soon, and another little surprise which I won’t reveal yet :)
