Welcome to the World of Warren!

Oops. Had this draft pending for a while, I was supposed to post it much earlier!

Within the last few months, my coworkers and I were discussing domains or something and we decided to look up worldofwarren.com for some reason. It was taken, by some dude named Warren (obviously), and the domain contained his blog that hadn’t been updated in a while.

Anyways, we found that the domain was going to expire some time in Dec…and I thought it’d be kool to have to domain, if possible.

Now, I know how domain expiration works. It expires, it goes through redemption period, and then is released and generally, shortly after, it’s squatted. For a while. Sometimes years.

So I noticed the redemption period started Jan 2011…but I wasn’t planning to spend every night/moment checking the domain. I check it maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks.

Anyways, yesterday, just before I went to sleep, I checked it and it was available! Lucky me, where were the squatters? Was it a worthless domain? I dunno, but regardless, I got it.

So I have a bunch of domains now.
4 domains
horderockcafe.com
warrenshea.com
seasaltfishandchips.com
worldofwarren.com

I have 5 emails
horde.rock.cafe [a t] gmail.com
warren.shea [a t] gmail.com
shea.warren [a t] gmail.com for spam and registering for stuff in which i don’t want email
and now
world.of.warren [a t] gmail.com

and warren.shea [a t] hotmail.com….used solely for work e-mail testing purposes (to use another e-mail client.

I have 3 twitter accounts
warrenshea and worldofwarren though I don’t know what to do with the latter. And right now, it’s protected…w/ 1 tweet so don’t bother following it. i’m just reserving it.
and one more…but that’s a secret!

I have 2…or more(even I don’t remember?) Facebook accounts
One of them is a secret!

Anyways, getting side tracked.
World of Warren. Not sure what to do with the domain right now. Maybe move everything except Resume, Projects, Portfolio to World of Warren….effectively making it a pure personal site.

And then warrenshea.com would be my professional resume site. I dislike the idea of having warrenshea.com as my personal site as it’s highly unprofessional.

Yeah, going to keep worldofwarren dormant/contentless for a bit. I decided to do both it and warrenshea.com in HTML5…meaning I need to know HTML 5…which I don’t, and it’s not on the list of things to do at the moment.

Converting warrenshea.com to HTML5 should be easier, all *MY* code is easily editable. I’d want to consolidate all the stylesheets and javascripts to 1 or 2 files each (to reduce server calls) and do sprites and stuff.

Anyways…back to “work”.
*Goes to check twitter, email, FB, and then work*
