Chasingeden.com is a good domain. Its easy to remember, and it suits me. I also tried to buy Elliott.com (accounting software company) and Elliott.org (oddly enough a travel portal) a long time time ago, but they are already taken.

The other day I ran across the .tt suffix. It is for Trinidad and Tobago. I figured even better than elliott.com is simply: ellio.tt

Also, its not taken. Awesome!! How much can a domain cost? Chasingeden costs me like 5 bucks a year…I’m willing to pay more for my email address to be elliott@ellio.tt.

Alas, Trinidad and Tobago does not use the same low cost/customer friendly model as Godaddy.com (where I bought chasingeden). It appears the country administers it themselves: http://www.nic.tt/. Very high-tech!!!

How much is the ellio.tt domain? Well…from what I can make out, it is $1000 for the first two years, and $1000 more every five years after that. The cost includes “maintenance” at no extra cost. Maintenance? There is no maintenance; that’s why it only costs $5 a year for a domain at Godaddy.

Seriously? Hopefully the government is using the excess for education or something; although apparently not for education in IT or economics.

No wonder ellio.tt is still available.

So the website disappeared for…..I don’t know. A while now. And even before that I had stopped posting.

All the old posts, from 2002 to 2007….still exist of course. I don’t know if I will ever put them back up to be honest.

As for why I stopped posting, why I took the website down….I’ve answered that question personally to a few people. No one else likely cares.

Anyway, its sort of spooky to be able to go back and read part of the inside of someone’s head for 5 years. It cries out to be misinterpreted, and it usually was.

So, since I’ve put the website back up, does that mean I’m starting the whole cycle over again? Maybe, after all….I’m not always that smart. I have better controls now though. I can password protect posts or even whole parts of the website and make people sign in to read. I probably won’t do that, but its an option.

As for the “cool” (in my opinion) chasing eden format/theme…..you know, the pic, and the colors and all that:

I will slowly rebuild that…maybe. I don’t have as much time to come up with all that jazz anymore. I was unemployed when I built the last site, and the technology has changed a lot since the days of editing html in wordpad.exe.
