Administrators Jon 1,250 Posted May 5, 2004 Author Administrators Share Posted May 5, 2004 I have trouble remembering, but it's something like: Hmmm. When I joined my first ISP in 1993 you could choose your hostname to prefix the isp name of "demon.co.uk". I was on the phone to the company (before online ordering came around...) and every name I tried was already taken, after about 20 attempts my brain fried and I paniced and just came out with "hidden" as in "hidden demon" and that seemed "cool". AutoIt was available on www.hidden.demon.co.uk for about a year but the download traffic was getting me in trouble (it was "free" webspace that came with the dialin account) so I need to buy some dedicated hosting. AutoIt.com was already taken and at the time I intended to program some other utils too so I wanted a generic name. JonSoft or any combination was "gay" I couldn't think of anything else so just carried on with the "hidden" motif. Possibly misjudged in hindsight with the "naughty" use of AutoIt :iamstupid: The history lesson endeth.

Administrators Jon 1,250 Posted May 5, 2004 Author Administrators Share Posted May 5, 2004 I noticed that I had a couple of free domain registrations for my hosting plan so I've registered autoit3.com and autoitscript.com to point to http://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit3/ Deployment Blog: https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/blog/ SCCM SDK Programming: https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/sccm-sdk/ Link to post Share on other sites
