It will most likely go un-noticed in your graphs. Bad practices are still bad practice :) Well, it is a regex match and should be avoided if possible.

Set up a different server scope in style with: <code> server { listen :80; server_name www.domain.com rewrite ^(.*)$ http://domain.com$1 permanent; } </code> You generally want to avoid this approach since it makes nginx evaluate $host on every request.

Some "IT geeks," like you (and like I was) are excellent self-observers and have figured out what's going on, so we have "instinctively" developed work-arounds. Some of us even have life together enough (or NEED a break badly enough!) to take the time to share our techniques, along with the writing talent to make it engaging. Others utilize hyperfocus (whether they realize it or not) to stay on the get-the-job-done treadmill, but non-work life suffers for it. THEN there are those who are brilliant coders, etc, with amazing ideas that stay in the realm of ideas alone. They bounce from project to project or job to job, clue-free about why they are struggling. Few make the link between ONGOING ACTION in BABY STEPs to actuation of GOALs -- that you illuminate so well here. REALLY good job! Check out my blogsite to see how you'd feel about an article swap or two (CONTENT, not web-tech - *my* current struggle ::groan::). In any case, I would love your permission to repost this - with an inbound link, <i>but of course!</i> And last, <i>but certainly NOT least</i>, - your site design is unusually ADD-friendly for a techie - were you aware of that? xx, mgh (Madelyn Griffith-Haynie, blogging at ADDandSoMuchMore and ADDerWorld - dot com!)

"why didn't anyone tell me?" Perhaps the best part is that you only know who was right when looking back at it from a safe distance :-) very funny post, and probably the most spot on description of the average developer I have read in a long time :-)
