BTW, dunno how your naming plans are coming along, but last week I ran a

Maybe you'll find this helpful, maybe not!

We're playing with WALUG, for Wasatch Area LUG.

(curiousity! :)  What exactly is "Wasatch"?  Is it a part of Utah, or does
it go beyond Utah?  What do the Linux LUGs in Utah call themselves?

I'd see WA, by the way, and immediately think Washington (as in state and
apples), but maybe that's just me.

Say, have you considered UTLUG (as in "UT" being the postal abbreviation for
Utah) or WULUG (Wasatch-Utah) or GWLUG (Greater Wasatch) or GULUG (Greater
Utah)...?


I think, though, that the
best one is WAFOL, or Wasatch Area Fans Of Lego.  It has a nice breakfast-y
ring to it...  :-,

LOL!  :)  For some reason I read that as "AWOL" with an "F" hidden in there
somewhere.  :)


pp.s.  Querying all domains of the form [a-z][a-z][a-z]lug.org at 5
second intervals would take ~87800 seconds, or about 1 day.  I might do
this sometime, just for kicks.

That's just a whois query?

It was 676 whois queries, separated by 5 seconds each, then grepping for
"^No match for" on the output.
