Wayback machine


No, not that wayback machine…

In two weeks it will be one year since I migrated my webhosting from Dominet to Dreamhost. I’ve always had a bunch of domain names and great money making schemes for them that never get executed. The original was KeyboardShortcutGuru (defunct) where I would provide a tip a day of keyboard shortcuts for various contexts. Instead that turned into a brief and adequately successful testing ground for me to play with XML/XSLT and never came to fruition. The most recent is FringeUser where I would cover my exploits using computer hardware or software in unintended, unconventional, or emerging ways. Both were planned to earn me nickles a month, hand-over-fist.

But where was I? Right - web hosting. So when I migrated away from Dominet, I updated most of my website URLs to the new DNS so they would point at my actual host but I left fringeuser pointing at Dominet and today, what do you know? They still haven’t turned off my account! That’s both a testament to the popularity of my blog and to their inability to get a cron job set up to purge expired user accounts.
