NTR: Buying a Domain

Buying a domain entails more work than it seems.

I bought “fusedthought.com” in the morning, and, after half a days work, I finally manage to get my domain up and running..

Here’s a rundown:

• The buying part was easy. It’s just a matter of giving your payment details and choosing your domain.
• Waiting for domain propagation was agonizing… A little waste of time. Thankfully, I still had my site to do..
• The DNS setting was painful. My registrar limits the number of records. So I had to find another free DNS service to use with less restrictions. After 3 switches, it was up.
• It was quite a breeze to set up Google Apps for Domains.  Now my email is contact[at]fusedthought.com

I’ll be moving all the essays and portfolio over once its done. My blog will be moving there also…

*shudders at the thought of all the permanent link redirection and updates…*

For now, back to work on my site…

Yay!

NTR: I’m (resist..) on Twitter

After much resistance on my part, I’ve succumbed to the social networking world and joined Twitter…

It seems that I may get to squeeze some productivity aspects out of twitter. Currently I have a service set up  to push my blog post to twitter.. I’m so glad that at least the service supports OpenID… I really wish most sites would go on and support it now. Its really much more convenient.

Anyway, now I have to go look through all those Lifehacker and Mashable Twitter tips that I’ve skipped in defiance…

Oh and my Twitter URL: http://twitter.com/fusedthought

NTR: Massive Portfolio Update

After scouring through my external hard drive for screen shots, I did a massive update to my portfolio. I’ve now included some themes that I’ve done as far back as 2005. They are mostly Blogger and WordPress themes, but nonetheless, still designs I’ve done.

Sadly, I can’t find those before that. Maybe it got lost when my hard drive got reformated around that time..Sigh..

Anyway, have a great night! Cheers!

I got Virb-ed

Its been a while since I blogged. Been so busy lately. Furthermore, I can’t seem to find articles to blog about…

Anyway, it has been so long since I created my profile on Virb. I finally had time to tinker around with the profile customization and “Voila!”, a newly re-designed theme.. Check it out at: http://www.virb.com/fusedthought

btw, here’s a screen shot:

(p.s. Jess: I will do your quiz on my next post kae? )

EOS: End Of Series (Sunday Essay)

Last Sunday’s post was really the last of the Sunday History essay. So that means the history essays are now officially history. Now there is a void on the Sunday slot. Wonder what to do next. Supposed to have gave it some thought when I was in camp, but I guess I was too busy studying to think of something.

Wonder what other topics should I write on. Most of the topics I was thinking are abit hard to maintain on a regular basis due my current commitments.

For now, I guess its going off-schedule.
