TroubleZone.Net

.. for just a little sign1

The meaning of this blog was actually always (more or less) kind of a “diary”2. But that changed rapidly, because the possibilities WordPress offers are absolutely amazing3)!

So I had the idea of creating a new project — but the core, the headline, was missing. Then, while snugly “wandering” through the Web4, I had a sudden inspiration:
All these websites5, forums and also blogs are frequently talking about problems of people with the Web or at least with technology in general6.

So what about a blog which talks about those “simple” problems we’re all experiencing, almost every day, again and again? — Boom, there it was, the “bright idea”, the “troublezone”!
But I also wanted that the people should know the basic idea when they saw the domain name and that it’s more about “technical troublezones” of our lives than social ones.
Thanks to the “InterNIC Domain Name Registration”7 finding a suitable “domain ending”8 wasn’t really difficult.

Due to I’ve got a weakness for wordplays, the domain name should include such a wordplay. My blog is about problems with the Web, like a “virtual zone”, so it was quite simple: TroubleZone, with a capitalized “Z”9 — The “TroubleZone.Net” was born10!
