it’s like 6:30am. i can’t sleep.
about six months ago before i got this domain name jay-ju.com, i had looked up the actual person who owned jayju.com. i had known for a couple years that it was taken. and even though my name isn’t that common, i would’ve understood if someone else with the same name had taken it. but when i saw the owner’s name… bala thirugnanam, i was baffled. why would he want this domain name? who the hell besides me would want jay ju dot com? i tried to write him to ask if he would be willing to part with it in any way. i even asked him if he would sell it to me. but of course i didn’t hear back so i just got this one i’m using now, with the “hyphen” between.
but i finally got a response from the person yesterday! unfortunately, he’s not willing to part with it and he just told me that it’s a family nickname. :/ i guess jayju must mean something in another language? oh well, i’m just glad he wrote me back and i got to find out what the deal was. plus, it could’ve been worse, someone could have made jayju.com into some bizarre fetish porn site. :P
