Back in 2004 when I got one of my first paychecks I bought my first domain name. Phoneix.net/com/org were taken, so with the help of friends we came up with Home of the Flaming Bird (HotFB) this became my domain I registered. I’ve owned HotFB.net for 18 years now. In it’s beginning it was just a site for friends to listen and upload music, using some trickery and coding skills I allowed friends to upload their music collection which quickly grew to over 30gigs, most of which I still possess. HotFB.net was supposed to be a running project and Home for various other projects I started for learning PHP and web development. I still intend on HotFB to be a base for those projects as I’m beginning to get the itch for programming and web stuff again, but this site will probably remain just a catch all type blog for rants or a personal autobiography.
