For a while now I’ve been forwarding select addresses from @randyrants.com but I never bothered to change the blog with the new address. After all Hotmail was always convenient because I could access it everywhere – low maintenance and the like. However, while shopping over at the Windows Live beta site, I noticed a beta for “Custom Domains“.

I’ve already got this blog hosted in one place and the DNS in another: Internet magic. What do I need Custom Domains for? Domain-based email routing? I guess, but I could have been doing that already via the DNS hosting people. Well, Hotmail Window Live Mail will play well with Windows Live Custom Domains, sure… so much so that my domain-based address would be a Passport…? !! Well that’s pretty neat actually; I didn’t expect that. Looks like I can use the new addy for IM as well, not that I’m ever logged in with it. Either way, I signed up for the best.

randy@randyrants.com is the “official” email address going forward. For those of you that care about such things.

All two of you. *points* I saw that.
