Josh Kim dot Org

I didn’t know this, but there’s a tiny movement against having “www” subdomain in links. Just visit no www to read up on some of the reasons why.

>Succinctly, use of the www subdomain is redundant and time consuming to communicate. The internet, media, and society are all better off without it.

The reason why the site was “down” for the better part was yesterday was that I installed this: no-www wordpress plugin. The silly mistake I committed was that I forgot when I set up JoshKim.org, I had asked for any request to “joshkim.org” to be sent to “www.joshkim.org”.

If you visited either one of those links, you would bounce back and forth… and back and forth… and back and forth… until the browser gave up on the request. I don’t know about you, but I got this strange looking error that wasn’t a 404 or anything I’ve seen before.

I realized this error after finding out that there wasn’t any server outage reports on the Dreamhost Status Page.

Just a heads up to those that might want to follow with the rest of the Internet in making it a “www”-less world… and so that those people won’t make the same mistake as I did.
