Over Constrained

My last post I mentioned I need a wiki.  I used WikiMatrix to evaluate a few solutions and none of them jumped out at me.  I realized my best bet is probably just to signup for a hosting service.  Jaimi likes BlueHost and they have Tikiwiki and Wordpress.  I could have everything in one place.

Then I over constrained the problem.  If I am going to get a hosting service I need a domain.  What should the domain be?  I have no idea, I have been toying with that idea for two years and I can't converge.  I tried NameBoy to get suggestions, and read the BLADAM post saying I should use a made up word that isn't too long, easy to spell, and doesn't sound like other words.  That just over constrained my over constrained problem.

I am not going to settle for scottherriman.com (17 characters) because unless you are an artist, using your full name is lame (sorry if yours is).  Herriman.com is taken.  I think I want the domain to be professional software related.  I am open to suggestions, you have any?

scottherriman.com may be long and lame, but when you become a famous artist later in life and someone has squatted on your domain, then what? =P

I think you should go with herrdog.com. It's available!
