1and1 is the mafia
My elmwoodstrip.org name now cost me almost $40 as they insist that I was overdue in payment for the $3 domain name and that they has to add a surpluss charge of $20. Who keeps a doimain name open and just keeps charging me back dues. They should have just canceled it. That would have been the appropriate thing to do.

At every othere registrar I ever used if I didn't pay it, they would just cancel it after a time period of about 60 days. There is nothing I can do now because I want the domain name so I can tranfer it and they wouldn't give me the authorization code without paying them!

I should have never gotten that free account. Not to mention the only way I could deal with them over the transfer was via fax. That is so annoying. This site has now cost me more money that I could previously imagine having. I need a better solution soon - probably in the summer when I have more time and/or more money.

Busy as a bee
I am just so busy still. Today I have to finish my portfolio and then apply for the Canisius job. After that I need to start working some more on fiveV.

This last month of grad school has turned into the most all-consuming part of my life. I also have to move the site to the new server. I am just waiting to get control of the elmwoodstrip.org domain back froim the mafia. Someday I will have a life again. Probably in may.

Elmwood is back to being sunny even if there is lots of snow on the ground now.

I had my first mobile online shopping experience orderig a subscription to make magazine. It as both liberating and terrifying. I saw the magazine, which is by far the coolest magazine I have ever seen but it cost $14.99 per issue, so I looked on the sidekick and found a year subscription for $34.00. I bought that too, it is nice to be able to shop online on the go.

It was hot out, now there is a half a foot of slush but here is proof that it was warm for a bunch of days. It was so nice in the sun.

We got so much work done today. We installed a streaming audio server running from cell phone audio feeds, got the image server to works, got the computer to dial up over PPP through a cell phone and connected the gps to the mysql server. I can't wait until this is done.
