Tony Finch's email address

I have a strange email address: dot@dotat.at. (The logo at the top of this page is a dotat.)

When I first investigated buying my domain in early 1997 the Austrian domain registry organised subdomains under .co.at and .ac.at etc. so it was not available. Some time later that year the policy was relaxed, so when I next looked in October 1997 I was able to buy dotat.at. I’m still slightly surprised that no-one got there before me!

Some of my other email addresses, past and present, are:

fanf@isc.org
fanf2@cam.ac.uk
fanf@cb4.eu
