A New Digital Home...

Welcome to http://upbeat.fr/ my new digital home on the Web! It is as cozy as http://saad.docisland.org/, the previous one that hosted my Web self() for about 3 years.

The DocIsland community I belong to (yes, in the present tense) has decided to stop renting the dedicated servers that have been hosting our DNS, web, mail and other network services. Discussion is ongoing of what will happen to our DocIsland emails and if we are going to get some kind of redirection service or something along these lines that requires little to no maintenance.

This is why I moved my website to this new domain. Please update your bookmarks, RSS feed and Comments feed as soon as you can.

Moving one’s digital home is not an easy feat. Not because of any particular technical difficulty but because you need to think hard about a decent domain name. I seeked the help of a few close friends for some brainstorming and I decided to buy upbeat.fr since it reflects one of my main personality traits. Ask a dictionary such as the one bundled with Mac OS X Leopard:

upbeat |ˈəpˌbēt|
noun
(in music) an unaccented beat preceding an accented beat.
adjective informal
cheerful; optimistic.


Got it? ;-)
