Diary 49: My domain Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I messaged Sushma that I will not attend Office as I was working late. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I went online as soon as possible. Well, I was not that happy with the progress of the feasthunt project, but I always wanted to own a domain, where I would express anything I want to the world. So, I pinged Alok, and asked him to suggest a name for my domain. We went from this and that, from weird to mainstream, when something suddenly came up. It was mydomainbitch.com. It was inspired from Facebook's movie, but who cared. It was the most appropriate name. It was indeed my domain. Within minutes, I was signing up to buy the domain. I chose bigrock.in instead of godaddy because godaddy didn't accept debit cards or netbanking. Also, it was cheaper. I was totally new to all this stuff. But, I managed to pull this off, and there it was, our domain. I bought it for a period of 2 years. I was the administrator of it, and it felt good to be one. I found out that we need a hosting site as the hosting is not free. So, I and Alok decided that we will do it on tumblr.com. We will create twitter accounts using our new e-mail ids from the domain, and use it to popularize our website. Alok suggested that we assume two identities and fight on the website on relevant topics. Although I was skeptical to it, I agreed to it for now. I learned how to redirect my blog to the domain I bought. I was never aware of terms such as A record, AAAA record or CNAME record. I am still a naive, but at least I can manage my website now. Anyways, the whole day was spent in setting up this website - the twitter accounts, the website admin console, the tumblr accounts and what not. At around 7:30 pm, our site was up finally. Alok could see it, but I couldn't due to some cache issues. Anyways, I used remote desktop connection to see it, and there it was. It felt good. Next, I looked up the JAVA book for a while, and watched TV episodes also. I informed Gil that I somehow managed to complete the exercises in the newer version, and also that the DX server is down. I also informed Dallas about the new domain and said that it is a step towards feasthunt. Then, I continued watching the TV episodes and slept at around 3:15 am.
