It helped my ego that she looked disappointed. I spent two days feeling quite smug about my quick sarcastic response.
Today I have spent feeling like a dunce. I didn’t handle the emails
warning me that my domain name, NTSSB.com was up for renewal very well. I
ignored the “This domain name is about to expire” emails because
originally it was registered through GoDaddy.com, and sense we all know
what a bunch of Douche Bags they are, I didn’t reply. I planned on just
transferring to a new company. I put it off.
The next I did think about it was when Patrick mentioned that my NTSSB site was dead. Well, if he’s upset then I need to act. The last thing I want is for him to pull quarters out of his ass and chucking them at me. Quickly I went to register the precious name, keeping in mind that nicetoseestevieb.com and nicetoseestevieb.blogspot are humming right along ... or else you wouldn’t be reading this.
This is about the time I began to learn the shady world of name registering. If you let a domain expire the registrar will then charge you $98 bucks. Just to renew it. I think they call it an idiot tax. The only other choice is to let NTSSB fall from grace and when it comes open to the public I can re-register it for $20 bucks. IF someone else doesn’t do it first; like it’s a big flipping deal.
This is an open apology to anyone who has missed my not-so-subtle sarcastic wit in the last couple weeks due to the NTSSB domain not redirecting to my BlogSpot address. I won’t be spending $98 smackers on redirecting you. But, here’s what you missed.
I ran.
I shopped for a new fridge.
I sat in the grass.
I’m an ENTJ.
It kicks like a sleep twitch.
