Incubus – Pardon Me

So I looked into the .us domain names… apparently you cannot register them for less than 2 years, so it’d be a commentment, but other than that the only restriction is you have to be a us citizen, which I am of course. So maybe tonight we’ll register krumbach.us and bevilacqua.us %D!! That’d be so cool, I might even put a little page up at krumbach.us since I am paying for it, hehe.

So have I bitched about how much I hate Network Solutions/Verisign lately? Well it’s time for it again! Here’s the background story for ppl who havent been kept up to date. Back in January or so I stumbled on princessleia.com. Now having princessleia2.com and it not being a primarily starwars site I was happy to stumble on princessleia.com and find that that too was just a woman’s personal site, I emailed her and told her so. Then i late febuary she emailed me and said “hey, I dont really want princessleia.com anymore, it expires in april, you want it?” I jumped at the chance of course, and so started the long, long battle with netsol. The process of changing the owner of a domain is a pain, you need to pay $15 for them to do it, as well as get the new owner to sign and fill out some info, and previous owner to sign and get notarized a form that is then faxed to network solutions. So I had to print the form, fill in and sign my stuff, send it to the owner in california, for her to do her stuff, and then she faxed it to netsol, in May. I paid for the domain to get renewed in april, so this could all get transfered n stuff, and I expected this to end quickly and nicely, HA! In the end of June I got a bit worried, called and they said that they were swamped with requests like this and it could take up to 6 weeks. Ok I said. I emailed them in July to MAKE SURE they got the request to transfer it to me, and yes, they had gotten it. So waiting waiting.. now over 3 months since the request has been sent in I am STILL waiting. It’s very frustrating because there are things i need to do with the domain, I want to move it away from netsol (to gandi.net, only $10 a year for registration!!!). And it’s just all around frustrating having something like this hanging. They havent even contacted us saying there was a problem!! So today I emailed them telling them that we’d cancel the whole request, and move all our domains off netsol if this isnt resolved quickly. Hopefully that’ll get them to get off their asses and figure out what the problem is. If not, I will be true to my word and give up on them %)

Ah so this morning I made a list of mp3s to send my broski in Belgium. We’re putting together an “american sampler pack” with some sierra nevada beer, hershey’s chocolate, a few state quarters, starwars episode 2 (that wonderful pirated copy, oooo), and some mp3s. It took most of the morning and I still only got 200 mb of mp3s *shrugs* I’ll have Myk add one of his mixes and some of his favorite ambient when he gets home. I also made up pretty labels for all the cdrs, hehe… so it’s been a productive day I guess, and I’m happy, ooo two mondays in a row where I am in a good mood! What is the world coming to?

Anyway, I’m gonna go screw around with my MST3K site for a while, almost have the sounds section done… trying to think of other sections to put up… links definately… hmm *shrugs* stuff… *wanders off*
