    Both – they virtual hosts anyhow, right? ‘grepunderstanding’ is easier to remember. For me. I’m new here…

    But certainly keep the one that’s your name!

    Maybe I should go back to lurking, instead of being actively unhelpful…

    LOL

    Nah, I appreciate the thoughts. I am going to keep both pointing to the site, actually. I’m just wondering if I should change all the WordPress stuff to orient around the new domain or keep it the same.

    Anyway, thanks for the thoughts. :)

    the “wisdom > knowledge” looks too much like an arrow as in “wisdom becomes knowledge” or some such thing when I know that your intent is “is greater than”. I’m not sure how to clarify that. Perhaps you should use some UNIX commands (use a | somehow). Don’t ask me … I’m still grading exams. :)

    The “wisdom > knowledge” is the rest of the Unix command – so it’s “grep understanding wisdom > knowledge”

    …looking for “understanding” in a file called “wisdom” and writing (over-writing!) a file called “knowledge”

    I’d say that knowledge is a prereq for wisdom, though. Where can I file a bug report? (kidding)

    I like the redundancy you have now. The “.com” kind of breaks the Unix-y part anyhow.

    But if you’re looking for alternatives… How about learn while(1); or push @understanding while ();

    maybe drop the punctuation in that last one to really confuse people.

    Should’ve seen that coming. Inside the parens should be the word ‘knowledge’ in angle brackets.

    Dmiessler.com is shorter.. less to type in.. i like grep understanding more as a tagline than a URL.
