I just got a renewal reminder for my domain fluf.fr and it made me wonder what other funny domains are floating around the web, either unused or unknown.

Love it. I have two of the EFF's "Come Back With A Warrant" stickers on this laptop (a large-ish one on the top and a smaller one just to the left of the touchpad).

emhart2• 12 years ago

Used to use it as an email server, nowadays I just have it forward to the EFF =P

I recently thought about registering crumbersome.com. Have at it.. I have more where that came from.

I've been trying to come up with a use for Cramhole.com for twelve years now.

Still no luck.

For a while, I was hoping to use it for a data storage algorithm, protocol, wrapper or container of some sort. Just so that in the future some poor souls would be sitting around a conference table and somebody would chime in "Couldn't we use a Cramhole for this?"

Back in the early 2000's, I was planning a trip through the mid-east and trying to get my visas sorted out.

That's when I discovered that syrianembassy.com was available.

I had nine dollars in my pocket at the time, but somehow it seemed like something that would eventually cause me more than nine dollars worth of hassle, were I to pick it up and put something inappropriate there.

Looking now, it seems that somebody is squatting it. Still, I'm glad that somebody is not me.

FTP2P.com - who wants to share?

timhargis• 12 years ago

Hexxa.com

Up until 2 months ago, it was DownrightSimple.com. But I'm now using that for my iOS Development Company. The other one I really like is KeystrokeOfGenius.com, which I haven't found a use for yet. There's also CSLounge.com, which was going to be some sort of Computer Science social network that I never got around to working on.

sensepic.com & vinescan.com are probably the two best that I own.
