What's in a DNS Name?
Have nothing to do much, yet so I decided to create additional child nameservers to my first Linux server (used for webhosting). I had added bangkal [dot] turfsiteph [dot] net and bicutan [dot] turfsiteph [dot] net. Why bangkal and bicutan? These places are part of my life. I grew up in those places. As my little way of immortalizing fond memories in these places, they will be used in all of my clients' domains pretty soon.
