ORACLENERD Naming Convention

I don't think I've ever mentioned this before, but it's probably a good idea. I've hassled friends before about it (Jake, Jeff and others).

The name of the site is oraclenerd. Ideally, small caps. Barring that, all caps or lowercase. Never, ever, ever, camel case. Yuk. I'm not a java guy. :)

Not 2 words either, mostly for the copyright infringement possibilities. I first encountered this a few years ago when trying to create t-shirts with Cafe Press, they rejected Oracle Nerd, probably because of the Oracle part. That's when I made it one word, oraclenerd or just oraclenerd.

Amusingly, I'm currently fighting with Facebook about their allowed name possibilities, no caps and no all lower-case. I already gave in to Katezilla, which annoys me. I wanted it to be all lower-case. For oraclenerd though, I'm attempting to fight the man. We'll see.

Definitely not trying to be a jerk...just never thought I would have to say anything because I never figured I would be referenced any where. I have 3 references now, so I have to control my brand. :p
