Something contradictory, funny, etc. Please let me know of any thoughts you might have! Thanks, Andrei You could modify your original Greasemonkey Philosopher idea; Two-Byte Philosopher. Two-Byte is a play on the expression two-bit (cheap, low quality), suggesting self-deprecation and the ability to relate to the common person's low-level problems, AKA being down to earth. Two-byte also suggests working at the byte level, which suggests low-level systems development. Just from the title, without knowing that you are Andrei Alexandrescu, someone will be able to discern: 1. This is a blog about programming 2. It encompasses both low-level and high-level programming concepts (much like D) 3. It probably explores the philosophical side of programming, but low-level (in the sense of everyday problems but possibly also systems-level) concerns come first (Two-Byte comes before Philosopher) 3. The author does not take himself too seriously, which further suggests that: a) The author is not an architecture astronaut with an ivory tower, highly theoretical approach to programming that you need a PhD to understand. b) The claim of being a Philosopher is probably in good humour and not to be taken seriously. Although this blog could also include various programming-oriented philosophical musings, the author can be expected to be relatable and down to earth, also reinforcing conclusion a. c) The author has an engaging, humorous writing style which will make reading the blog enjoyable rather than a chore (I have found this to be the case with your writing in TDPL) Furthermore, a quick google search [1] doesn't turn up anything that would conflict with this blog name. 1: https://www.google.com/search?q=two-byte+philosopherie=utf-8oe=utf-8
