Recently, I was looking through a few short domains, and decided to buy dan.cx. I think it’s a pretty good domain, even if .cx is an odd TLD (it’s the TLD for Christmas Island which is close to Australia, so I guess it’s kinda related
). It’s better than my old one (d15.biz) in my opinion. “d15″ doesn’t have too much meaning (apart from people that know it means “Daniel15″), whereas “dan” is a lot better. I’ll still be using the old domain for some things (it’ll still be my main email domain, since there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the domain of a Google Apps setup, which is what I’m using for my email). I also got daniel.gd last night, but I’m not sure where I’ll use that (“daniel good?” I dunno). It currently just redirects to dan.cx. I should probably stop buying domains. But, I bought these instead of renewing a few domains. I don’t really work on MySpaceTools any more, so I’m just letting the domain expire.
I guess you’ve probably noticed, but I’ve been doing some updates to my site (finally!). I rewrote it to use my own very simple CMS (instead of a static HTML file), and added a “Projects” page showing some of the bigger projects I’ve worked on in the past. I’m considering switching the site to be fully WordPress (instead of just the blog), but I haven’t done that just yet. Not sure if I will, I’m happy with the simple CMS for now. I thought WordPress might be easier for site management though. And the main part of the site is the blog, which might be better in the root. I dunno.
A proper blog post will come eventually. One day.
Until next time,
— Daniel

Lol sorry spelt my name wrong in the first post.
Richard Shaylor it should be.

Yeah, I ended up adding the new domain as a domain alias. It seems to do odd things like randomly drop emails to the catchall address (they don’t bounce back, but I never get them) so I’m still using my old domain most of the time.
Thanks for your comment
