The Network
This baby was my first-ever domain. It opened in October 2008. I love it very much, and of course, it's still open. It's my "main" site, where I blog and offer resources as well as some awesome site reviews.
Heartdrops is a huge site already. Tons of tutorials and content and reviews. I am so proud of how much it has grown. I have always wanted to make it even bigger, but since my domain obsession grew, I actually feel like making it smaller.
I love photography, and this is my photoblog (plog) where I blog one photo each day.
I adopted this domain, simply because I wanted one for "free", I guess you could say. I nearly didn't get it, because I was told that it wasn't fair since I already had a domain.
The name isn't the best name, but I'm happy with it. I tried to make it stand for "On 1 Shot". A little lame, but nevertheless alright.
This domain was given to me by the owner after she no longer wanted it. I was chosen amongst a small group of people who wanted it.
I kept this as a hosting site for quite some time, as I wasn't entirely sure what to do with it. I also didn't want to modify the original website too much.
In the end, I was under the impression that the domain would expire in November 2009, so I stopped accepting hostees and converted it to a quotes database.
I registered this with a domain credit I won from NameCheap.com. This is where I place all my writings - poetry, narrative, essays, speeches - anything really.
I'm quite proud of this domain because of my writings, and the fact that I could keep it going. It only opened in March 2009, but I still find the time to add to it.
I was looking at domains on the NameCheap marketplace, and I came across Aquapheric.net.
James pointed out to me that Aquapheric could simply be a combination of "aqua" and "atmospheric". I suppose that is the case!
I struggled to find a use for Aquapheric, given my other domains and their uses, and considering that I still want to register other names for certain purposes.
My best friend Lilian gave me the idea of "lists". Much like the memes or random lists we come across nowadays. I went ahead with the idea, but have lost interest and will be finding another use.
EyeThief is my fanlisting collective. It opened on the 25th April 2009.
I decided to register a new domain for my fanlistings, for two reasons.
I had joined many fanlistings, and they weren't fit enough (or organised enough) to stay on a small page situated at Heartdrops.org, my main domain.
Also, I had been approved for my first fanlisting, Keep on Pickin' (the fanlisting for guitar picks/plectrums).
Following on with my domain obsession, I therefore registered EyeThief on the 24th April 2009. It is one of my favourite domains out of the ones I own, and is where I like to showcase my creativity in a subtle way, though the layouts of the website. I don't spend a lot of time working on the website, which is why I am pretty proud of myself of what I have done. I love EyeThief because of its simple but rocking layouts.
Powered by Tumblr, this is my random blog where I post anything that means something to me, anything I like - quotes, lyrics, photos, sometimes even mini blogs.
My friend Jeff bought me the domain as I had helped him win a few, so he offered me a .info TLD.
That's me on Twitter. I used to be very obsessed with updating here but now have stopped being so crazy. I know how annoying it can be for other people to be bombarded with tweets.
I won most of my Namecheap.com domains through their Twitter trivia contest.
I use Twitterfox to update on my laptop and desktop PC, and also update from my mobile phone. I use Twitterfeed.com to tweet updates to my blogs and portfolio.
Old nickname - don't ask.
I use the scrobbler at Last.fm with Windows Media Player. I never really liked Windows Media Player. I used to use RealPlayer, then found that the scrobbler wasn't compatible with it. Windows Media Player is less bloated than RealPlayer though, and loads faster.
No, I do not have an ipod so I don't see the point in iTunes.
