| IRC Chat Transcript - Early January 2001 |
| morbus: | basically, i'm trying to think of a name that oozes some sort of portal, desktop, news, aggregator, sort of thing. |
| morbus: | but is also rememberable, like disobey, gamegrene, etc. |
| morbus: | newsability.com? whatdyathink? |
| leandro: | Nah. People will never be able to spell that. |
| morbus: | you think? it's just two common words together? |

| leandro: | I like amphetanews |
| morbus: | yeah... i like that one the best out of them all too... |
| morbus: | news seems too restrictive now though. |

| morbus: | all are available. |
| leandro: | newscatter |
| leandro: | scatterednews |
| morbus: | someone else really liked amphetanews. |
| morbus: | ok. question. |
| leandro: | Yes? |
| morbus: | i'm working on a desktop app that's designed to grab news for you each morning, or whenever you run it. |
| leandro: | amphetatruth? heh |
| morbus: | my initial problem is that i may want to expand it in the future, and amphetanews wouldn't grow with the program cos of the "news" part |
| leandro: | Desuetude.com? |
| morbus: | wha? |
| morbus: | heh |
| leandro: | excitation |
| leandro: | Penitence.com |
| morbus: | desktopiminal.com? |
| leandro: | deviation.com |
| leandro: | REvelation.com |
| morbus: | desktopminal.com? |
| morbus: | deskscab.com? |
| leandro: | heh |
| leandro: | amphetanews remains my best choice so far. |
| morbus: | same here. i just worry it won't allow growth past news |
| leandro: | A name ain't the limit. |
| morbus: | amphetadesk? <g> |
| morbus: | well, it'll limit people's thoughts just based on the name. |
| leandro: | desktoxin |
| morbus: | if i'm looking to play games (?? i dunno ??), and someone says "amphetanews", i'm like "uh, ok. that sounds newsy"... |
| morbus: | oooh. |
| morbus: | that' good |
| morbus: | desktoxin, desktoxin... hmmm. |
| leandro: | newstoxication |
| leandro: | heh |
| morbus: | heheheh. |
| morbus: | deskfection.com? |
| leandro: | deskfection not bad either |
| morbus: | amphetatop.com? amphetadesk.com? deskfection.com? |
| leandro: | all 3 are good |
| morbus: | i like amphetadesk - does it roll for you? as good, or not as good as amphetanews? |
| leandro: | deskvirii |
| morbus: | nah, that'll scare idiots. |
| leandro: | yeah it rolls with me as well |
| morbus: | k... assuming this other guy i'm asking doesn't have any major issues, that'll be the working name. |
| morbus: | deskphetamines.com? |
| leandro: | If you don't know the context and read it, it sounds weird... "mines?" |
| morbus: | ah. yeah. you're right. |
| morbus: | welp, i'm gonna use amphetadesk as a working title. if you think of anything better, let me know. |
| leandro: | Will do! |
