Howdy,

After getting tired of typing in the awfully long
‘dreamcatcher.homeunix.org’, and my wrist started hurting, I decided
to go ahead and register a shorter domain name, which was in my radar
for a couple months. So, now this site will be available as
awkly.org. For those who doesn’t know what awkly means, here’s the
Webster‘s definition:

Awkly Awk"ly, adv.

1. In an unlucky (left-handed) or perverse manner. [Obs.] –Holland.
2. Awkwardly. [Obs.] –Fuller.

So, basically awkly comes from awkward, for which Wordnet has a
lenghty definition:

awkward

1. (adj) causing inconvenience; "they arrived at an awkward time"
2. lacking grace or skill in manner or movement or performance;
   "an awkward dancer"; "an awkward gesture"; "too awkward
   with a needle to make her own clothes"; "his clumsy
   fingers produced an awkward knot" [ant: {graceful}]
3. difficult to handle or manage especially because of shape;
   "an awkward bundle to carry"; "a load of bunglesome
   paraphernalia"; "clumsy wooden shoes"; "the cello, a
   rather ungainly instrument for a girl" [syn: {bunglesome},
   {clumsy}, {ungainly}]
4. not elegant or graceful in expression; "an awkward prose
   style"; "a clumsy apology"; "his cumbersome writing style"; "if
   the rumor is true, can anything be more inept than to repeat it
   now?" [syn: {clumsy}, {cumbersome}, {inapt}, {inept},
   {ill-chosen}]
5. hard to deal with; especially causing pain or embarrassment;
   "awkward (or embarrassing or difficult) moments in the
   discussion"; "an awkward pause followed his remark"; "a
   sticky question"; "in the unenviable position of resorting
   to an act he had planned to save for the climax of the
   campaign" [syn: {embarrassing}, {sticky}, {unenviable}]
6. not at ease socially; unsure and constrained in manner;
   "awkward and reserved at parties"; "ill at ease among
   eddies of people he didn’t know"; "was always uneasy with
   strangers" [syn: {ill at ease(p)}, {uneasy}]

And… why did I choose such an awkly (no pun intended) domain name?
Well, because I identified myself with the definition, specially the
part about reserved at parties and his cumbersome writing style :)
