A step taken...

A step taken...  This morning I registered a new domain: decinum.org.  I was a bit surprised that it hadn't already been taken – my usual experience with finding domain names is that the first 1,000 or so that I try have already been snagged. :)  Further, to my amazement, 60 seconds after registering decinum.org, the DNS resolution was already working.  The first domain I ever registered (dilatush.com, back in '93) took several days to get that far.

This new registration is a first step for an open source project I'm going to start working on.  The main purpose is to actually implement the observations and ideas I've had for representing money in Java.  The vast majority of that work lies in representing high precision decimal numbers, hence the domain name.  I won't have any web site for decinum.org at first; I locked down the name mainly so I could safely use it for Java class names...
