Today the internet is a good part of what I do and, well yeah, of what I don't do. Anyway, a few years back, I wanted to buy a domain with my name [and last name of course].
Before I go on, for those not as geeky, a domain is pretty much the "name" that you use in the internet browser that point to a website. If you still don't get it try wikipedia or else.
So I wanted my name with a .com and not some .net, .to, .ws or something like that.
Well, having "that" specific domain became something I wanted. I needed to have it. So I went shopping for my domain name!
Crap. Some guy in California had the same idea, just a month before I did! And in case you are wondering, we are not related.
He registered the domain for two years - and he never put up a website. Well, after a two year wait, I was hoping this guy would forget to renew it and leave MY domain name free (he wasn't using it anyway!). I wasn't lucky. He renewed for 2 more years.
But hope never dies right? So I went to my google calendar and I added a reminder for two years later. I know what you are thinking.
So two years later (Nov 2007) the domain expired and my alarm went off. This time he didn't renew it! But the company that sold the domain held it for 3 months just in case he wanted it back. Then, another company grabbed it instantaneously and tried to sell it to him (at a higher price of course). Finally a month after it was released!
Patience paid off after all. Now I have it! It is mine! All mine! And now what?
Hmmm, I guess it is time to start thinking what I'm gonna post there! I mean, many things have changed after six years. I can't put up my original design or content unless I'm going six years retro. How come i didn't think about this before? Yeah, I slacked big time on this.
Well, for now this blog will also live there. That way I won't feel a hundred percent guilty.
Time for some brain storming.
And the world were saying that I was headstrong. xD
But at the end it worth it.
Congratulations for the domain.
