blacknight: May 2007 Archives

We've been using Skytel for the last couple of years to handle all our voice traffic including our 1850 number. Unfortunately the level of service has been declining and is no longer reliable (Our 1850 number has been offline for the last two days!!) Can anyone suggest any alternatives?

From time to time I like to give away stuff. Some people probably think this is a little mental :) I don't really mind .... Anyhow .... Today's little offer.. To celebrate our introduction of a nice new web frontend to MS SQL 2005 (see here ) we're giving away a couple of ASP.net hosting plans with MS SQL 2005 support. First 3 people who contact me via email (michele@blacknight.ie NOT my personal address please) will get one of these: Asp.net Standard Hosting Plan I'll even throw in a free domain (com/net/org/info/biz/mobi/eu/at/co.uk) EDIT: All gone now. For those of you who missed the freebie use the coupon code "blog07" to get a 20% discount on the same hosting package. The coupon will be valid for the next 24 hours

I spent part of my lunch break today checking the IE deleted list. As usual there's a very mixed bag of domains in there. There's some really nice generics (ie. one word domains) that would never be dropped in a gTLD. One that caught my eye is skype.ie. This was previously registered to a company other than Skype. I mentioned the co.uk challenge to skype.co.uk, and while there was no open challenge to the skype.ie registration I can imagine how it would have panned out. If you want to browse the deleted IEs have a look here
