That means that our Apache redirect maps DaveG.tiddlyspot.com, daveg.tiddlyspot.com, and DAVEG.tiddlyspot.com all to the same site (tiddlyspot.com/daveg). For old sites with capitals in them, like "DaveG", we made a lowercase link "daveg" that pointed to it, which is why those old sites still work with subdomains. Anyway, you can rest assured that noone can make a site the same as yours but with different capitals. Cheers ;Daniel Dave, you’re fine to tell people whatever capitalisation you like — the “domain” part of our URLs are case-insensitive (as far as I know, domains in URLs always are).

Am I right that if I tell everyone my site is /DaveG.tiddlyspot.com/ they will be directed to /daveg.tiddlyspot.com/? And maybe not notice. If so then all I need is a guarantee from you that you will block anyone trying to set up /daveg.tiddlyspot.com/ and take my traffic. DaveG (aka daveg) PS I am all for lowercase since I read a lot of ee cummings in my teens. I find it avoiding UpperCase so consistently a little sad now :-) Hi,

We\'re not using Rails yet (or <a title=\"Nitro Web Framework\" href=\"http://www.nitroproject.org/\" rel="nofollow">Og/Nitro</a>, <a title=\"Camping Framework\" href=\"http://redhanded.hobix.com/bits/campingAMicroframework.html\" rel="nofollow">Camping</a> etc), the site is still simple enough not to need a framework.Re your first question, I don\'t want to speak for Simon, but I believe that the MonkeyGTD layout is intended to be fairly minimalist, which seems to be what most folk want in a GTD tool. With a little fiddling around, you could combine MonkeyGTD functionality and the MPTW layout if you wanted to. You should ask about it on the <a href=\"http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki\" rel="nofollow">TiddlyWiki mailing list</a>, and you\'ll get some good answers. Cheers ;Daniel Hi JRCapa,

I see you got this new thing... monkeyGTD? It's kinda cool, but the layout is a little bit disappointing for those who have played with MonkeyPirateTiddlyWiki, which looks absolutely fantasticly astonishing... Also I'd like to know in which language tiddlyspot.com is coded.. is it Rails? Congrats for your work! Hi Simon… I see you got this new thing… monkeyGTD?
