Fake Name Generator Blog http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/blog Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:00:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Mobile FNG http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FakeNameGenerator/~3/EGFsWezSpuo/ http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/blog/2010/03/mobile-fng/#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:00:27 +0000 Jacob http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/blog/?p=205 We have launched an Android- and iPhone-friendly version of the Fake Name Generator. This mobile FNG will allow you to quickly and easily generate fake names on the go.

Not sure what to use the names for? Here are some helpful suggestions:

  • Give a fake phone number to the creepy guy that is trying to ask you out.
  • Give the annoying telemarketer “your” name, address, phone number, credit card number, and more.
  • Get a fake name to use for a character while playing games offline.

If you are using an Android or iPhone device, you will be automatically sent to the mobile site. Don’t worry, you can always click the “classic” link at the bottom of the page to switch back to the full version of the Fake Name Generator.

The phone numbers are a mix of mobile numbers and land line numbers. The land line number area code will match the province of the generated address.

Our generator helps you quickly create a perfect placeholder image, down to the pixel, with any foreground or background color you want. This is great for developers that need to create ad-sized placeholders for their templates or mock-ups.

Here are a few of the things we’ve done:

  • Implemented Bad Behavior to prevent robots from accessing the site. This reduces load on the site so that pages can come up faster.
  • Moved images and CSS to a CDN. This means you’ll download the images from a server that is geographically near you instead of from our name generating server.
  • Optimized our CSS.
  • Optimized our name generator to do things smarter and faster.

Please let us know if you run into any problems!

We think this is a great idea, so w have updated the bulk order page to allow you to have domain names included in your order.

Do you have any other suggestions?

We’ve corrected this issue, and also added byte order marks to the beginning of generated bulk orders.

We’ve switched to a new DNS host that has a better reliability record.
