I have set up dyndns on my server
-
@reality Call a doctor, quickly. I hear there is a cure for that if you catch it early ;oD
-
@stav I don't get it
-
@reality How do you pronounce that, anyway? I try to pronounce it like "dyne dee en ess", but quite often end up saying "din-dins" instead.
-
@psquid I say it the first way. Either way it means I can leave my server at home and get to it reliably from university :)
-
@psquid There used to be a web site with audio files of official ways to pronounce such things. I think it died of boredom.
-
@gomerx In that case, I'm free to say MySQL ("my squirrel"), node.js ("node jizz"), and dyndns ("din dins") however I want. >:D
-
@gomerx (One of those is not how I actually say it.)
-
@gomerx And who came up with these official pronunciations? IETF? RMS?
-
@rpcutts well I've moved all the stuff I used to use my vps for onto it, and I use that all the time :)
-
@skellat Someone from the project in question. Like the canonical "Hello, my name is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce 'Linux' as 'Linux'"
-
@gomerx "Hello, my name is Richard Stallman, and I pronounce 'Linux' as 'Ganoo Leenox'"

@psquid you forgot the 'slash'
-
@gomerx Now that raises the question of whether or not the variety of podcasts out there serve to normalize pronunciations now.
-
@psquid You guys should do one for !IdentiCurse. I'm often troubled at the exact correct pronounciation.
-
@gomerx Eye-den-tee-curse.
-
@gomerx shit, if I ever do one, I would have to start with how to pronounce my 'name'. @dickturpin is the only one who has done it right!
-
@skellat That's true. If everyone pronounces it differently, then in a way the common pronounciation is a derivative work on the original
-
@psquid i dent, i curse. incorrect, but more fun perhaps? btw: http://ur1.ca/4qw1m
