Subdomains

Yesterday, I learnt how to do subdomains. Basically, I can now set up things such as subdomain.alunmillard.co.uk. This is useful is I want to have different things pointing to different sites. http://tumblr.alunmillard.co.uk goes to this tumblr. http://www.alunmillard.co.uk current points to my tumblr, but could be changed to point at anything else.

Email Addresses

I’ve been a busy boy since I got home from work. I’m in the process of simplifying my email accounts. I have 3 hotmail, 1 yahoo and 1 gmail.

I signed up for the domain name www.alunmillard.co.uk, and set it so that I now use an @alunmillard.co.uk for MSN instant messenger, and will do the same for other various websites. An example could be tumblr. If I have my registered email address here as tumblr@alunmillard.co.uk, then all email to that email address will be sent to a specific account. I can then set up filters to label the email, or to move it to a specific folder, depening on whether the underlying email account is Gmail or Hotmail. I will keep one hotmail account, though people will mainly just use the @alunmillard.co.uk address to send mail to it. I have created a new Googlemail account, which will handle the majority of my email.

I can use something like futureemployer@alunmillard.co.uk as the email address when I apply for a job. That way I can set up filters, perhaps to apply a red - as in urgent attention needed - coloured label to the email. It makes sense in my head, at least.
