I hope my namesake1 pianist Charles
Ancheta claims it back eventually.
‘charlesancheta.com’ used to redirect to his Facebook page before I registered
the domain as mine.
This summer, I went out of the country for almost 2 months. I promised my girlfriend I wouldn’t be doing any programming for the entire duration of the vacation. As soon as I arrived in the Philippines, I locked up my laptop in a drawer to make sure that I would not touch it until I have to (when school starts).
Unfortunately, my domain ‘charlesancheta.com’ expired around mid-August ðŸ˜. I guess that’s what I get for not turning on auto-renew. I didn’t want to buy it again since it started costing around $100/year.
Now I just have my personal website as a sub-domain in the only domain that I own. It’s not too bad, but now I will have to start replacing all links to my website.

Apparently “namesake” implies that one was named after the other. I’m not, so the word that I was translating was “katokayo” or “kapangalan” which only means “person with the same name” and never has the implication that one was named after the other intentionally. ↩︎
