I finally got my invoice from
Network Polutions for my domain,
conman.org. Or, as
Network Polutions, uh,
Verisign calls it, my
Web Address. Morons.
To make it worse, there's an ad for GreatDomains.com
where I can get an appraisal of my domain. Just think, I could be
sitting on a goldmine! Imbicils.
To make matters worse, they send me an invoice for US$70, which renews my
domain for two years. I don't want to renew my domain,
sorry, web address for two years—not with these idiots. But, I
can renew online
and well, will you look at that! If I renew online I get 10% off a two year
renewal. But not if I renew by check (my preferred method of
payment). And I get a choice of renewing for only a year. Words fail me.
I'd switch registrars, but with my domain up for renewal, I don't want to
risk loosing it entirely if I decide to switch now (and I've already gotten
junk snail mail offering just that. Sigh) and the potential for it to be
totally munged up for weeks on end.
So I'm sending a check to renew for one year and once that clears,
then I'm switching.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: http://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
http://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
