Think before you register a domain name!

From my friend Adam …

ACTUAL “ONLINE” NAMES:

All of these are legitimate companies that didn’t spend quite enough time considering how their online names might appear …. and be misread.

These are not made up. Check them out yourself!

1. Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any celebrity. Their Web site is

www.whorepresents.com

2 . Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at

www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at

www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at

www.therapistfinder.com

5. There’s the Italian Power Generator company

www.powergenitalia.com

6. And don’t forget the Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales

www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for IP computer software, there’s always

8. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky Web site

Website Down

So I let my domain registration expire… Didn’t mean to. It just… happened. Perhaps it was because I had to move and was distracted by relocating to another state. While that makes a great excuse – its still an excuse… I was just lazy and should have renewed months ago. I recently re-registered my domain with Yahoo but they don’t accept domain transfers! This means that I can only re-delegate from my French registrar, gandi.net.

To summarize the above paragraph: My website and my email addresses associated with that website will be unreachable until I can find out how to fix them and bring everything back online.

Probably not going to happen any time soon considering I’ve been super busy and spend 99.9% of my free time with my GF. I’ll be stuck in the lab until late tonight, trying to decipher logic analyzer traces. Yes, I’m using a logic analyzer to probe 18-30 seconds worth of asynchronous serial data! That basically means I’ll be reconstructing data words by hand…. fun fun :)
