Version 1: 1999 to 2005

Focused on web infrastructure, e-gineer was frequently updated from 1999 to 2001. It became the home for many interesting tools including Domainator domain name search and the PHP knowledge base which later grew into FAQTs.com. e-gineer was largely unchanged from 2001 to 2005 as Nathan was busy concentrating on the growth of Synop.
