Not professional, but passionate

Free services can be good, but are never perfect. From my.opera.com to blogger.com, there are always things I wished they can do but sadly they can't. Therefore, in November 2014, I was very pleased to eventually finish up building this site on my own. However, no one wants a "static" website, tasks related to database, scripts, HTML templates, and CSS are always the first class demands. DIY is fun and full of possibilities, although it could be tough sometimes. I indeed enjoyed it.
I hesitated a little bit right before set up the server, on whether I should get another domain. But I didn't. Not my idea, but I love the way how the current domain spells: pocchong.de, thanks to KOKIA and her "Song of Pocchong ~雫の唄~". Amazingly, my site title was also got connected to the domain smoothly. "音 (oto)" is sound, tune, or a song; "時雨 (shigure)" is light rain, drizzle, or fine drops. I don't remember whether I chose "pocchong" in this sense, but as a result I'm pleased. However, I didn't have specific intention to use a ".de"--simply because it looks good being after "pocchong", with a few other reasons: ".net/.com" are not fun, ".jp" is ridiculously expensive, and ".ca" looks like an online shop.
