Announcing www.uptoyoulor.com

Out of the blue, Eric Banana decided to protect his beloved "up to you lor" catch-phrase today and registered the domain name "www.uptoyoulor.com" via Google Apps for a grand sum of US$10 per year. Actually, Google doesn't register or host domain names per se; in this case, it's done through one of its partners eNom.

After some fiddling (aided by a touch of Internet research), Eric Banana has successfully linked this blog to the custom domain www.uptoyoulor.com (although the uptoyoulor.blogspot.com URL still works as well). Yay! 

The domain name is tied to Google Apps, a host of web-based applications which include Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs and Google Sites. Eric Banana resolve to explore them soon for the purpose of planning and coordinating his wedding.

But more importantly, Eric Banana is now able to generate xxx@uptoyoulor.com email addresses tied to Gmail technology. So yes, look out for eric_banana@uptoyoulor.com and astro_girl@uptoyoulor.com :) Maybe Eric Banana will start creating funny email addresses like what.you.want.is@uptoyoulor.com.
