Asymptomatic

This is the stuffed money photo I use for my Gravatar and other things.

My email service went dead yesterday after I changed my DNS pointer over to use Webmail.us’ email server. It’s not their fault, though; it’s the fault of eNom, who provides their DNS services.

Apparently since my domain is registered with Registerfly, who is an eNom reseller, eNom won’t let a different company host the DNS records for that domain. Nevermind that I don’t really care about their agreements. Silly resellers of domain hosting.

So anyhow, I signed up for Premium service with DNS Made Easy.

As the result of an interesting URL typo event, I found the Teastick. Points to whoever can figure out where I was trying to go.

Plus they’ve got this whole community site thing going over there, where you can search for videos by tag (yeah, like Flickr), watch them, and leave comments. It’s actually not too shabby. Certainly better than Vimeo, which is fixated on the whole Quicktime playback. Ew.

Have I mentioned that I’m trying the FAlbum plugin? You can see my Flickr photos on this site!

Well, it has been an interesting week in the web server arena. I’ll be glad when the transition is over, so I can stop goofing with settings and start actually using things.

Incidentally, this is only the second full post I’ve written on the new server, and I hadn’t even taken the time to appreciate how much snappier everything is. Ahh…

But I have signed up for a couple of hosting services that should hopefully spread resources out and keep my web hosting cheap.
