Edit: comments are fixed now! stupid wp-comments-post.php had the wrong permissions again!
About a month ago, my domain expired. I did not know this… because I am a web slacker extraordinare and never bothered to check if my blog was still accessible or not… in fact, I only noticed it when I tried to ssh into my server and download the flac copy of Tundra 4 by Squarepusher I stashed there months ago so I could listen to it at work… and discovered that my domain was dead.
:( I’m sorry dear blog readers (yes I’m talking to both of you.)
Anyway… some IM Fu later with my domain name registrar super hero (also my previous roomie) had my domain name up and running again. I now appreciate you, dear blog and dear blog readers (yes, both of you again) even more now, so I decided to write a blog post.
*clears throat loudly*
In the news:
I’ve moved into a new apartment as of today. I’m very happy about this. :) Extremely!!! happy about this. :) It’s a 1 bedroom place, with a full kitchen and a freaking washer and drier!! Friends came over to help me move, which was awesome and amazing. new and old friends (Thank you Polvi!!) Then the whole mess of us went and hijacked another friend’s TV to watch season 3 of BSG, which I bought the day it came out, and have been dying to share it with people before season 4 starts.
So that’s the news.
In Other News: PranQster is the best beer on the planet. srsly.

I was there for the move, and I will attest to the fact that Emily was really excited about the new place. All day she kept pausing mid-conversation and exclaiming “I have a new apartment!”
‘Grats Em, enjoy the new place!

Emily, I may* be heading down to San Jose for the week of 14-18 April to attend the mass nerdery that is the Embedded Systems Conference. We should meet up to reminisce about old times and partake in an overpriced unpronouncable coffee-drink!
*Was definitely going as of two days ago. MAY be going as of now, given sudden knee-jerk managerial grumblings with regard to inconceivably bloated corporate travel budgets…

Congrats!! Aren’t new places fun? AREN’T WASHER AND DRIERS FUN TOO?? Hehe! I’ve never been so much in love with appliances before.
And I’m right with you on that domain thing. Same thing happened to me last month. Problem was, my host charged me in Oct for renewal so I ignored the Jan/Feb emails from Network Solutions. Turned out my host never owned my domain, so they had no business charging me to renew it! Total shenanigans!

DM!! wooo! *hugs*
Total shenanigans is right! and I think “I’ve never been so in love with my appliances before” is going to be my quote of the week. :) hahaha.
