I am Christopher Hicks. I'm the Founder/CTO/bottle washer of Flamingo Internet Navigators (aka FINI aka fini.net). You can find my latest work exploits on my Linked-In profile.
Why "chicks"?
Because it's my name!
Take the first letter of my first name and put all of my last name right
after it and there ya go. This is in fact exactly what
MCV did when
they gave me my first account on a real computer - their VAX cluster
known as gems
. After getting over the initial volume of retribution
from my fellow geeks I've grown quite fond of it.
So, a few years later I'm administering a box on the net and I decide to register chicks.net. Those were the days when you just sent an e-mail and "it was done". No money, no grief, but you might have to wait a few weeks. Oh, and if your DNS wasn't working right they didn't include you in the zone files. Those were the days! :)
