The topic my readers most want me to address is something called men’s rights. (See previous post.) This is a surprisingly good topic. It’s dangerous. It’s relevant. It isn’t…

Subdomains

Mon, 28 Feb 2011 17:44:08 +0000

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.

Review of What is Twitter? An Explanation Of Microblogging | Web 2.0 Reviews | Listio for Web 2.0:

I’m currently sat here working on my Open University assignment. The question I am working on discusses micro-blogging. So here is an explanation that I can make notes from. I guess that my website is also an example of micro-blogging.

Email Addresses

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:21:23 +0000

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.

Hey all, and welcome to the tumblr bloggy thingy for Alun Millard. I’ve had journals in the past, but this blog is going to be more of a tech / study blog. I have spoken. Thus it will be.
