The blog has a new website! p3l6.dev.
I’ve been using the online handle pwxn for a long time now, and it is starting to get a bit stale.
I’ve mentioned it’s origins in an earlier blog post, but nobody generally knows what it means since it was an inside joke from way back in high school.
However, I have enjoyed that it was both short and unique, usually being available when signing up for new services.
So I’ve been on the hunt for a new short unique handle for some time now.
Eventually, I came up with p3l6, which is “PaulLanders” shortened in the same style as k8s or i18n.
This was available as a .dev domain, and a github username. In fact, a brief search doesn’t turn up anyone else using it at this time.
I like this new one very much, it is unique, and remains short: still four characters, but might be look even shorter depending on the font!
I think it also sounds a bit like a Star Wars droid identifier.
