(that's a zero, not an O)<br>
Don't think that would work for a domain though.<br>

Otherwise, I vote for hmon (hobbit monitor) or hsmon (Henrik Stoerner's

Both are available as .org domains.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
some lawyers behind the movie company that produced the "Lord of the<br>
Rings" trilogy have contacted me about using the name "Hobbit"
for the<br>
Hobbit monitor project.<br>
<br>
Fortunately, it seems that these people are actually quite sensible.<br>
They just want to make sure that there is no risk of anyone assuming<br>
that the "Hobbit monitor" has anything to do with the books, movies,<br>
merchandise etc. that they produce.<br>
<br>
So they've suggested that beginning with the next release, "Hobbit<br>
monitor" is renamed to either "Hobbi monitor" (without the 't'),
or<br>
"H.O.B.B.I.T. Monitor" . Or something else, but they want to know<br>
if I pick something else.<br>
<br>
The full correspondance can be seen at<br>
<a href="http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbitdocs/legal/" target="_blank">http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbitdocs/legal/</a><br>
<br>
My current preference is to use the "H.O.B.B.I.T." version;<br>
this is most like the current name, and it would also fit<br>
with all of the current URL's used for various Hobbit functions (e.g.<br>
the "<a href="http://hobbitmon.sf.net" target="_blank">hobbitmon.sf.net</a>"
project page). I'm going to write the lawyers and<br>
get a definite OK that I can use "hobbitmon" in URL's and such;<br>
I doubt that I can get Sourceforge to accept a project named<br>
"h.o.b.b.i.t." since that would probably cause havoc with the DNS<br>
entries ...<br>
<br>
But I'd like to hear if there are other suggestions or opinions.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Henrik<br>
