Have you ever wondered what domain name was the first one ever registered? Neither did I until I came across this list. It is amazing... Think.com was registered 3rd...
This is an awesome list to read through and look at. I wonder what number my domains are? LOL... Certainly not even in the top million... Apple.com is there, number 64... Microsoft.com, however, must not have thought this whole "internet" thing was going to pan out. Good call, Bill...
Here's the 100 oldest registered domain names list:

25 “WHAT DO I DO NOW THAT I HAVE MY RESUME?” TIPS
1. Develop a team of people who will be your board of directors, advisors, and mentors. The quality of the people you surround yourself with will determine the quality of your results.
2. Plan a marketing strategy. Determine how many hours a week you will work, how you’ll divide your time, and how you’ll measure your progress. Job searching is a business in itself—and a marketing strategy is your business plan.
3. Identify 25 (50 would be better) companies or organizations that you would like to work for.
4. Contact the companies, or do some research, to identify hiring authorities.
5. Define your network (see “Networking Tips”). Make a list of everyone you know including relatives, friends, acquaintances, family doctors, attorneys, and CPAs, the cleaning person, and the mail carrier. Virtually everyone is a possible networking contact.
6. Prioritize your list of contacts into three categories: 1) Strong, approachable contacts, 2) good contacts or those who must be approached more formally, and 3) those who you’d like to contact but can’t without an introduction by another party.
7. Set up a filing system or database to organize and manage your contacts.
8. Develop a script or letter for the purpose of contacting the key people in your network, asking for advice, information, and assistance. Then start contacting them.
9. Attempt to find a person, or persons, in your network who can make an introduction into one of the 25 or 50 companies you’ve noted in number 3.
10. Spend 65 to 70 percent of your time, energy, and resources networking because 65 to 70 percent of all jobs are secured by this method.
11. Consider contacting executive recruiters or employment agencies to assist in your job search.
12. If you are a recent college graduate, seek out assistance from the campus career center.
13. Scout the classified advertisements every Sunday. Respond to ads that interest you, and look at other ads as well. A company may be advertising for a position that does not fit your background, but say in the ad they are “expanding in the area,” etc. You have just identified a growing company.
14. Seek out advertisements and job opportunities in specific trade journals and magazines.
15. Attend as many social and professional functions as you can. The more people you meet, the better your chances are of securing a position quickly.
16. Send out resumes with customized cover letters to targeted companies or organizations. Address the cover letter to a specific person. Then follow up.
17. Target small to medium-sized companies. Most of the opportunities are coming from these organizations, not large corporations.
18. Consider contacting temporary agencies. Almost 40 percent of all temporary personnel are offered permanent positions. Today, a greater percentage of middle and upper management, as well as professionals, are working in temporary positions.
19. Use online services. America Online, Prodigy, and CompuServe have career services, employment databases, bulletin boards, and online discussion and support groups, as well as access to the Internet. This is the wave of the future.
20. If you are working from home, be sure the room you are working from is inspiring, organized, and private. This is your space and it must motivate you!
21. If your plan is not working, meet with members of your support team and change the plan. You must remain flexible and adaptable to change.
22. Read and observe. Read magazines and newspapers and listen to CNBC, CNN, and so on. Notice which companies and organizations are on the move and contact them. Tips and Techniques 15
23. Set small, attainable, weekly goals. Keep a weekly progress report on all your activities. Try to do a little more each week than the week before.
24. Stay active. Exercise and practice good nutrition. A job search requires energy. You must remain in superior physical and mental condition.
25. Volunteer. Help those less fortunate than you. What goes around comes around.

25 UNCONVENTIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR UNCOVERING AND SECURING NEW OPPORTUNITIES
1. If you see a classified ad that sounds really good for you but only lists a fax number and no company name, try to figure out the company by trying similar numbers. For example, if the fax number is 555-4589, try 555-4500 or 555-4000, and get the company name and contact person so you can send a more personalized letter and resume.
2. Send your resume in a Priority Mail envelope for the serious prospects. It only costs $5, but will stand out and get you noticed.
3. Check the targeted company’s Web site; they may have postings there that others without computer access haven’t seen.
4. If you see a classified ad for a good prospective company but for a different position, contact them anyway. If they are new in town (or even if they’re not), they may have other nonadvertised openings.
5. Always have a personalized card with you in the event that you meet a good networking or employment prospect.
6. Always have a quick personal briefing rehearsed to speak to someone.
7. Network in nonwork environments, such as a happy-hour bar (a great opportunity to network) or an airport.
8. Network with your college alumni office. Many college graduates list their current employers with that office, and they may be a good source of leads, even out of state.
9. Most newspapers list all the new companies that have applied for business licenses. Check that section and contact the ones that appear appealing to you.
10. Call your attorney or accountant and ask them if they can refer you to any companies or business contacts; perhaps they have a good business relationship that may be good for you to leverage.
11. Contact the Chamber of Commerce for information on new companies moving into the local area.
12. Don’t give up if you’ve had just one rejection from a company you are targeting. You shouldn’t feel that you have truly contacted that company until you have contacted at least three different people there.
13. Join networking clubs and associations that will expose you to new business contacts.
14. Ask stockbrokers for tips on which companies they identify as fast growing and good companies to grow with.
15. Make a list of everyone you know and use them as a network source.
16. Put an endorsement portfolio together and mail out with targeted resumes.
17. Employ the hiring proposal strategy. (See 101 Best Cover Letters.)
18. Post your resume on the Internet, selecting news groups and bulletin boards that will readily accept it and match your industry and discipline.
19. Don’t forget to demonstrate passion and enthusiasm when you are meeting with people, interviewing with them, and networking through them.
20. Look in your industry’s trade journals. Nearly all industries and disciplines have several, and most have advertising sections in the back that list potential openings with companies and recruiters. This is a great resource in today’s low-unemployment environment.
21. Visit a job fair. For most professionals, there won’t be managerial positions recruited for, but there will be many companies present, and you may discover a hot lead. If they are recruiting in general, you should contact them directly for a possible fit.
22. Don’t overlook employment agencies. They may seem like a weak possibility, but that may uncover a hidden opportunity or serve as a source to network through.
23. Look for companies that are promoting their products using a lot of advertising. Sales are probably going well, and they may be good hiring targets for you.
24. Call a prospective company and simply ask them who their recruiting firm is. If they have one, they’ll tell you, and then you can contact that firm to get in the door.
25. Contact every recruiter in town. Befriend them, and use them as networking sources if possible. Always thank them, to the point of sending them a small gift for helping you out. This will pay off in dividends in the future. Recruiters are always good contacts.

Courage
Captain Ed Freeman
You're a 19 year old kid.
You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam.
It's November 11, 1967.
LZ (landing zone) X-ray.
Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out.
Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again.
As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter.
You look up to see a Huey coming in. But ... It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it.
Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you.
He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come.
He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety.
And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!! Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.
He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Army, died August 20, 2008 at the age of 80 in Boise, Idaho .
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch about Michael Jackson and Tiger Woods.
Medal of Honor Winner

25 NETWORKING TIPS
1. Two-thirds of all jobs are secured via the networking process. Networking is a systematic approach to cultivating formal and informal contacts for the purpose of gaining information, enhancing visibility in the market, and obtaining referrals.
2. Effective networking requires self-confidence, poise, and personal conviction.
3. You must first know the companies and organizations you wish to work for. That will determine the type of network you will develop and nurture.
4. Focus on meeting the “right people.” This takes planning and preparation.
5. Target close friends, family members, neighbors, social acquaintances, social and religious group members, business contacts, teachers, and community leaders.
6. Include employment professionals as an important part of your network. This includes headhunters and personnel agency executives. They have a wealth of knowledge about job and market conditions.
7. Remember, networking is a numbers game. Once you have a network of people in place, prioritize the listing so you have separated top-priority contacts from lower-priority ones.
8. Sometimes you may have to pay for advice and information. Paying consultants or professionals or investing in Internet services is part of the job search process today, as long as it’s legal and ethical.
9. Know what you want from your contacts. If you don’t know what you want, neither will your network of people. Specific questions will get specific answers.
10. Ask for advice, not for a job. You should not contact someone asking if they know of any job openings. The answer will invariably be no, especially at higher levels. You need to ask for things like industry advice, advice on geographic areas, etc. The job insights will follow but will be almost incidental. This positioning will build value for you and make the contact person more comfortable about helping you.
11. Watch your attitude and demeanor at all times. Everyone you come in contact with is a potential member of your network. Demonstrate enthusiasm and professionalism at all times.
12. Keep a file on each member of your network and maintain good records at all times. A well-organized network filing system or database will yield superior results.
13. Get comfortable on the telephone. Good telephone communication skills are critical.
14. Travel the “information highway.” Networking is more effective if you have email, fax, and computer capabilities.
15. Be well prepared for your conversation, whether in person or over the phone. You should have a script in your mind of how to answer questions, what to ask, and what you’re trying to accomplish.
16. Do not fear rejection. If a contact cannot help you, move on to the next contact. Do not take rejection personally—it’s just part of the process.
17. Flatter the people in your network. It’s been said that the only two types of people who can be flattered are men and women. Use tact, courtesy, and flattery.
18. If a person in your network cannot personally help, advise, or direct you, ask for referrals.
19. Keep in touch with the major contacts in your network on a monthly basis. Remember, out of sight, out of mind.
20. Don’t abuse the process. Networking is a two-way street. Be honest and brief and offer your contacts something in return for their time, advice, and information. This can be as simple as a lunch, or offering your professional services in return for their cooperation.
21. Show an interest in your contacts. Cavette Robert, one of the founders of the National Speakers Association, said, “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” Show how much you care. It will get you anywhere.
22. Send thank-you notes following each networking contact.
23. Seek out key networking contacts in professional and trade associations.
24. Carry calling cards with you at all times to hand out to anyone and everyone you come in contact with. Include your name, address, phone number, areas of expertise, and/or specific skill areas.
25. Socialize and get out more than ever before. Networking requires dedication and massive amounts of energy. Consistently work on expanding your network.

25 TIPS FOR USING THE INTERNET IN YOUR JOB SEARCH
1. When typing your resume out with the intent of emailing, make sure it is in an ASCII format.
2. Use keywords heavily in the introduction of the resume, not at the end.
3. Keywords are almost always nouns, related to skills, such as financial analysis, marketing, accounting, or Web design.
4. When sending your resume via email in an ASCII format, attach (if you can) a nicely formatted one in case it does go through and the reader would like to see your creativity and preferred layout. If you do attach it, use a common program like MS Word.
5. Don’t focus on an objective in the introduction of the resume, but rather accomplishments, using keywords to describe them.
6. Don’t post your resume to your own Web site unless it is a very slick page. A poorly executed Web page is more damaging than none at all.
7. Before you email your resume, experiment sending it to yourself and to a friend as a test drive.
8. Look up the Web site of the company you are targeting to get recent news information about new products, etc., and look for their job posting for new information.
9. Before your interview or verbal contact, research the company’s Web site.
10. Use a font size between 10 and 14 point, make it all the same for an ASCII format resume, and don’t create your resume for emailing with lines exceeding 65 characters.
11. In case your resume may be scanned, use white paper with no borders and no creative fonts.
12. Include your email address on your resume and cover letter.
13. Don’t email from your current employer’s IP network.
14. Don’t circulate your work email address for job search purposes.
15. In the “subject” of your email (just below the “address to” part), put something more creative than “Resume Enclosed.” Try “Resume showing 8 years in telecommunications industry” (if that is your chosen industry), for example.
16. For additional sources of online job searching, do a “search” on the Web for job searching, your company, and your specific discipline for additional information.
17. Be careful of your spelling on the Internet. You will notice more spelling errors on email exchanges than you will ever see in mailed letter exchanges.
18. Try to make sure your resume is scannable. This means it has a simple font, no borders, no creative lining, no bold face, no underlining, no italics, and limited if any columning. Though the practice of scanning is overestimated, it should still be a consideration.
19. Purchase or check out of a library an Internet directory listing the many links to job opportunities out there. There are thousands.
20. If you are using the email as your cover letter, keep it brief. If the reader is reading on screen, their tolerance for reading long information is reduced dramatically.
21. Always back up what you can on a disk.
22. If you post your resume to a newsgroup, first make sure that this is acceptable to avoid any problems with other participants.
23. Remember that tabs and spaces are the only formatting you can do in ASCII.
24. Make sure you check your email every day. If you are communicating via the Internet, people may expect a prompt return.
25. Don’t send multiple emails to ensure that one gets through. Try to send it with a confirmation of receipt, or keep a look out for a notice from you ISP that the message didn’t go through.

25 INTERVIEWING TIPS
1. Relax. The employment interview is just a meeting. And although you should not treat this meeting lightly, don’t forget that the organization interviewing you is in need of your services as much as, or perhaps more than, you are of theirs.
2. The key to successful interviewing is rapport building. Most people spend their time preparing for interviews by memorizing canned responses to anticipated questions. Successful interviewers spend most of their time practicing the art of rapport building through the use of powerfully effective communicating techniques.
3. Prepare a manila folder that you will bring to the interview. Include in the folder:
* company information (annual reports, sales material, etc.)
* extra resumes (6–12) and your letters of reference
* 15 questions you’ve prepared based on your research and analysis of the company
* a blank legal pad, pen, and anything else you consider helpful (e.g., college transcripts)
4. Dress appropriately. Determine the dress code and meet it. If their dress is business casual, you still need to be dressed in business professional. Practice proper grooming and hygiene.
5. Shoes, of course, must be polished.
6. Wear limited jewelry.
7. Call the day before and confirm the appointment—it will set you apart.
8. Be certain that you know exactly where you’re going. Arrive in plenty of time. You should be at the receptionist’s desk 10–12 minutes before the scheduled interview.
9. Prior to meeting the receptionist, check your appearance. Check your hair, clothing, and general image. Test your smile.
10. Secretaries, administrative assistants, and receptionists often have a say in the hiring process. Make a strong first impression with them.
11. Look around the office and search for artifacts that disclose the personality and culture of the company—and possibly the interviewer. This information will be helpful in initially breaking the ice, when you first begin discussions.
12. Be aware of your body language. Sit erect, with confidence. When standing and walking, move with confidence!
13. Your handshake should be firm, made with a wide-open hand, fingers stretched wide apart. Women should feel comfortable offering their hands and firm and friendly handshakes. A power handshake and great smile will get you off to a great start.
14. Eye contact is one of the most powerful forms of communicating. It demonstrates confidence, trust, and power.
15. During the interview, lean forward toward the interviewer. Show enthusiasm and sincere interest.
16. Take notes during the interview. You may want to refer to them later in the interview. If you are uncomfortable with this, ask permission first.
17. Be prepared for all questions, especially uncomfortable ones. Before the interview, script out a one-page response for each question that poses a problem for you, and practice repeating it until you’re comfortable with it.
18. Communicate your skills, qualifications, and credentials to the hiring manager. Describe your market value and the benefits you offer. Demonstrate how you will contribute to the bottom line. Show how you can 1) improve sales, 2) reduce costs, 3) improve productivity, or 4) solve organizational problems.
19. Key in on specific accomplishments. Accomplishments determine hireability. They separate the winners from the runners-up.
20. Listening skills are priceless! Job offers are made to those who listen well, find hidden meanings, and answer questions in a brief but effective manner.
21. Let the interviewer bring up salary first. The purpose of an interview is to determine whether there is a match. Once that is determined, salary should then be negotiated.
22. There is no substitute for planning and preparation, practice and rehearsing—absolutely none.
23. Practice interviewing techniques using video technology. A minimum of five hours of video practice, preferably more, guarantees a stellar performance.
24. Close the sale. If you find that you want the position, ask for it. Ask directly, “Is there anything that would prevent you from offering me this position now?” or “Do you have any reservations or concerns?” (if you sense that). At the very least, this should flush out any objections and give you the opportunity to turn them into positives.
25. Always send a thank-you note within 24 hours of every employment meeting.

Authorize.netTM Translator
The new SecurePay Authorize.netTM Translator allows you to accept credit cards on SecurePay in Authorize.netTM format. We support the AIM method of credit card acceptance, allowing easy integration with many carts which have Authorize.netTM modules already in place with only minor changes to the cart (or custom) code. Note that you will need access to the source code of the cart to make the change, so some carts will not be eligible for this integration.
In most cases, the developer can simply search the code for this line:
and replace it with:
In order to finish setting up a cart for SecurePay emulation of Authorize.netTM payment processing, you will need to fill in the x_login [1] and x_tran_key [2] fields for the cart. Figure 1 is an example of a cart's settings screen requiring this information. Each cart will be different, but if they support Authorize.netTM then the you should expect something similar to Figure 1. You can find this information in the SecurePay Merchant Portal.
Figure 1
The x_login is simply your Merchant ID on SecurePay (the number you use to log in to the Merchant Portal.) You can create or edit your transaction key under the "Transaction Key" option on the left menu once logged into the Merchant Portal. You will need to set x_tran_key in the cart to be identical to the transaction key you set on this page. Figure 2 demonstrates what you should see when you click the "Transaction Key" menu item from inside the Merchant Portal.
Figure 2
SecurePay will generate a random key for you by simply clicking the "Generate Key" button ([2] in Figure 2.) If you want to create your own, you need to type in 16 numbers, uppercase letters, and lowercase letters at [1]. You must click the "Save Key" button at [3] when you change your key in either instance.
If all of these steps are handled correctly, your shopping cart should be ready to process payments with SecurePay as your payment processing gateway. If your application needs custom code for these specifications, please go visit www.authorize.netTM and view their AIM integration guides.
