  • Data: Captain, due to a highly improbable fluctuation of subspace, it appears that all Christmas presents for the neighborhood have quantum tunneled underneath our Christmas tree.

    Geordi: if we reverse the polarity of the warp coils and emit precisely positioned nadion bursts from the phaser arrays we could reverse the tunnels and send the gifts back to their original locations.

    Riker: We could save Christmas?

    Picard: Mr. Laforge, Mr. Worf, make it ho ho ho.

    Worf: Sir, I object. I am not a merry man.





  • Frongt’s answer is great. Another couple of thoughts:

    For the domain name, do you want firstlast.com specifically, or could something close work (maybe you already have it and there’s no more choice to be made)? I opted for a derivative of my name in order to keep it professional and for it to not become outdated. If you’re Taylor Robin Smith, would something like tarsm.com work? Without already knowing your name, it appears random. Any service that could reasonably make the connection probably already has your name anyway.

    One side note: when choosing your TLD, I suggest one of the “classic” ones – .com, .net, or a country. I’ve run across some forms where the email validator rejects the newer ones like .works. Not a lot, but even one is inconvenient.

    For the service naming, I do like you suggested for the name, but I just use a catchall. There’s no address actually created, my mail host just sends anything to my main mailbox – me@mydomain.com receives lemmy@mydomain.com, business@mydomain.com, or farts@mydomain.com. To my knowledge, the only way to tell I actually use a given address is to check my inbox.
