ROTFL, I’m not a skilled craftman am I?
I’m sure most of you are familiar with dot-com (.com) domain name on the internet. This is because the .com domain name is the most common domain name found on the internet and it is the largest TLD (top level domain name) in use.
The .com domain name was first established in January 1985, and currently operated by Verisign. Here is the list of the oldest .com domain name that is still active in the internet :
Rank Create date Domain name 1. 15-Mar-1985 SYMBOLICS.COM 2. 24-Apr-1985 BBN.COM 3. 24-May-1985 THINK.COM 4. 11-Jul-1985 MCC.COM 5. 30-Sep-1985 DEC.COM 6. 07-Nov-1985 NORTHROP.COM 7. 09-Jan-1986 XEROX.COM 8. 17-Jan-1986 SRI.COM 9. 03-Mar-1986 HP.COM 10. 05-Mar-1986 BELLCORE.COM 11. 19-Mar-1986 IBM.COM 11. 19-Mar-1986 SUN.COM 13. 25-Mar-1986 INTEL.COM 13. 25-Mar-1986 TI.COM 15. 25-Apr-1986 ATT.COM
From here we can see that the oldest .com domain registered was by Symbolics, Inc, more than 20 years ago!

Introducing #fakap community blog, a blog that does not focus on a single topic but rather as a medium to voice out opinions and feelings of #fakap online community.
The blog also doubles as a news website that is frequently updated by a team of bloggers from #fakap community. #fakap community is mainly consist of frequent irc users in webchat.org and dal.net irc networks. Most of them are regular pc end-users , which makes the blog more interesting since we are reading what an average end-user would say about a particular product.
You may find that #fakap community speaks is a bit harsher than the usual blog that I maintain because it is designed to make people think of the harsher reality of lives. I wish to snap people out from their dream, out from wasting their valueable money to giant corporations, I’ll try to snap them out from it, *only* if they would help themselves.
So, hope that you enjoy reading #fakap community blog as I’m one of the bloggers there :p

Just to inform you that today is the day Thailand changed its name from Siam in May 11, 1949. “Thai” means “freedom” in the Thai language, so it’s a land of freedom. Though it the country name has been renamed more than 50 years ago, there are people who still prefer to call it as Siam, including me :p

Some of my files on my other hosting company has suffered hardware failures and they lost my accounts, well a couple of my “one-off” website are totally gone, along with some of the files that i mirrored there. Luckily I’ve transfered most of my files/work and this blog to Interunix, back a couple of week a go.
It seems that I’m not the only one who has suffered from hard disk failure, hope that you will recover soon Liew.
