EBKAC.ORG Goes Live (Almost): A Firebase Custom Domain Story

The domain arrived this morning. ebkac.org. After days of running this site on a Firebase default URL that nobody would ever bookmark intentionally, there it was in the Netcup dashboard: registered, paid, mine. EBKAC, for the uninitiated, stands for Error Between Keyboard And Chair. It is an old IT industry shorthand for the most common category of technical fault: the human operator. Usually deployed to describe someone else’s mistake. I chose it as the name for this blog because I am a firm believer that the most instructive errors are your own. A name like that has a certain obligation attached to it.
