I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure it's the best choice for a technical blog, especially when many people visit them at work.

I picked it kind of on a whim and as a hack (are they still allowing porn under .com?). I like the aesthetic symmetry of the domain and TLD, in general. There was a funny potential bug in our code several months ago which almost led to the comment

    // XXX TODO FIXME nop is doing too much

Perhaps that link back to development/tech might have been too much of a stretch :)

Yeah ideally we all work for understanding, cool tech companies, but unfortunately that's not the truth. I recommend you buy another similar, safer domain and have this one forward to it.

^Agreed. The .xxx domain is a bit unprofessional IMO. \

To quote a wise man:

    It's not porn. xxx does not always mean porn. Sometimes it means Vin Diesel.

Or it's written on the liquor jug held by a cartoon hobo.

Or it's a homage to this year's XXX Olympics.
