I'm so vain. I bet I think this website is about me.
I get curious at times. At one point I wanted to register spc.com,
being my initials and whatnot, but Time Magazine registered that one on July
14, 1994. I've never bothered to ask if I could have it, but I can't
imagine what they're using it for (nothing, as I can tell).
So I decide to check out spc.org, which seems to be a better domain
for my use anyway. When I tried a few years ago, it was taken but I forgot
who had it. The current owners registered it June 7, 1997. So I might have
gotten it had I been on the ball three years ago, but I wasn't.
They seem to be using though, so I can't complain there.
And that leaves spc.net, which was registered to the Special
Products Company on June 22, 1996, and
they seem to be using it
as well.
I can't have conman.com because that is being sit upon by a domain
name speculator company, noname.com.
But the big surprise is
conman.net. Last time
I checked (a few weeks ago) it was being held by noname.com but
that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. It is now held by
Conner
Huff.
Now, conner.com is owned by
Seagate, the
harddrive manufacturer. Understandable, Conner used to be a well-known
harddrive manufacturer before being bought out by Seagate.
conner.org and conner.net are owned by
MailBank.com, an
organization that gives out email addresses. As of today,
sean@conner.org
is available as an email address, but at US$9.95/month, I think I'll stick
with what I have.
