The switchover of my domain name to DNS Central is complete. This shouldn’t mean much to anyone but me, but hey, just thought I’d mention it. I’m still sick, too, in case anyone is interested. I’m also still going nuts bidding on old Fantastic Four issues on eBay. I’m keeping my bids low enough that I’m not winning every auction, so don’t worry about me going broke over this.

Yahoo Knows Best
Yahoo Knows Best, Resets Users’ Marketing Prefs
This kind of thing is very annoying. If they’d sent out a notice saying they were going to do it, it wouldn’t be so bad, but it really sucks that I had to find out about this at slashdot, and not directly from Yahoo.
Domain Name Follies
Well, I just went through the paperwork to transfer my domain to DNS Central. I will also soon be switching to the GeoCities $5/month account, so I will have FTP access and remote loading capability. Long story, pretty boring. The end result is that I don’t like any of the other free web providers, and I’m leery of the various other low-cost hosting services. Some of them look pretty cheesy. Hopefully, Yahoo/GeoCities will continue to work well. And the $5/month will get rid of the annoying ads on this page! Yay!
Radio UserLand
My Radio UserLand page is here. I’m not sure if I’ll keep it or not. I’m still trying to figure out what it’s good for, outside of blogging, which Blogger does just as well. A lot of people seem to think it’s cool.
GeoCities
Oh well, Yahoo is going to discontinue FTP access to free GeoCities sites soon. Time to start looking around for something better…
leftover turkey
Yum! Leftover turkey!
I got a cable modem a few days ago, so this weekend will likely be filled with pointless web surfing instead of holiday shopping and/or meaningful social interaction with friends and relatives. Also, I don’t feel real good right now. I think I’m getting a cold. Hey, nothing leftover turkey and pumpkin pie can’t cure, right? 🙂
DSL
I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a DSL line. Maybe not a great idea to add $50/month to my budget right now, but still… tempting. Every time I look at DSL Reports it scares the heck out of me, though. None of these companies seem to have a clue what they’re doing.
DDoS
Worried about DDoS attacks yet?
