Domains & DNS: January 2008 Archives
If you've emailed me in the last week or so and haven't got a reply now you know why :)
Of course if your email didn't have a semantic subject line I probably won't find it ever - sorry!
I've also got a bit tired of clients being negatively affected by Wordpress' dumb caching (or simple lack of it!) which has led to this.
All I'll say is this. When this site made it onto the frontpage of Digg the server barely flinched. If I'd been using a default install of Wordpress the site would have taken out the entire server...
This is my third trip to Los Angeles in the last 12 months and my second time in Hollywood.
What is Hollywood famous for?
Movies - naturally, but it's only on this trip that I'm getting to see any films.
So far I've seen I Am Legend and Cloverfield - both in the Chinese Theater, which has pretty good Dolby sound.
Today is the last bit of freedom before DomainFest kicks off, so I'm contemplating going to the cinema again today. I've also been tasked with picking up some boots for my younger sister, but that's proving to be a bit problematic !
Last night was a bit special, as we got to see Harrison Ford, Callista Flockhart and John Travolta who were all at an event in the hotel. Several other stars were meant to be in attendance, though that may have simply been rumour

While I was expecting it to be a fun event I wasn't expecting it to coincide so closely with the latest domain scandal - Network Solutions are up to no good! It seems like the internet industry gets over one bit of furore only for another one to come out of the woodwork.
What will be next?
In any case I expect NetSol's latest ploy to be a hot topic.
Of course a trip to LA would be a bit boring if I was closeted away in a hotel for my entire stay, so I'm hoping to take in a few touristy things over the couple of "free" days prior to the event. I'm not 100% what I'll get up to yet, but LA isn't exactly a boring city, so I'm sure I'll find something to keep myself amused :)
If nothing else I can always go and ogle the new Apple Macs!
Richard mentioned that a number of the EUBrowser squats have been dropped
Someone created a firefox search plugin thingy for searching domains from the Blacknight site - very cool!
Now I really should get back to cleaning the house ....
