The Origin of Fingertoe.com
A few weeks ago, I asked what if anyone could guess the origin of fingertoe.com. I got a few good guesses, but the truth is. Nobody knows.
One day I was tinkering with Debian Linux, and I wanted to get a domain name to use with Dynamic DNS so I could connect remotely to my linux box. The only criteria was it needed to be something easy to remember. Fingertoe.com was not taken, and so I registered it.
Later I was playing with SWISH, and I made a cool flash Splash page. After a few seconds of displaying fingertoe.com, it dropped in the explaination "I don't know what it means either."
The name serves me well. It seems that Google likes webpages that have their own domian names. I have had thousands of people visit this website after googling "Indian Larry" or "Blake Pitching Tents"
Occasionally I get somebody looking for Fingertoe Therapy, which is apparently an indian accupressure technique that I know nothing about.
