so i used to be a web host myself. way back when. lol. but now i'm not. now i don't even think i'm going to renew paying $18 for my current webhost. i have no qualms with them whatsoever. its just that even my text files were filling up 50mb and i can get 250mb for free at another site. so i'm going to try that. i'd rather pay $9+tax to renew this than $27+tax for the year. because i'm a cheap bastard. and that's why i gave up being a webhost .. because everyones cheap (not necessarily a bastard). lol. besides when i did it it was fun cuz i was chatty with the girls i hosted.
anyway stuff like this pisses me off. that must have been when i decided not to renew uncontrollable.org .. 2/4/2005. ever since then domaincollection.com has been trying to sell it at a much inflated price (i'm sure, b/c you have to contact them for an estimate). isn't 2 years long enough to tell its not going to sell? i liked it. but i can't have it now. nor any of the other names i used. because they were snatched up by the same sort of companies. so now there are tons (and tons) of websites out there that look like this. three that i stopped running weren't bought up. one because it was a .nu, one because it was a long made up word, and the third because it was a short made up word. but i would like to own the zine site we had again. just in case i was ever really bored and wanted to pick up being cool again. lmao. but really its a silly thing. there's nothing wrong with one domain name. and i've had people offer to buy this one and trembling.org (which i still own, for no reason really). and maybe they had better uses in mind. but i like denying other ppl ownership. besides it was my idea, i had it first right. if only u could own it for life w/a one time fee. that'd be easier. we'd all go around with our made up name associations. like bumper stickers on our internet personality.
at least i don't have a site that's just a webcam pointing at a fish tank. but maybe i would if i could keep fish alive.
hmm i bet the free webhost doesn't support .shtml .. hmph. [oooh it says it does <3]

:) You often throw unexpected, yet ultimately hilarious, lines in your writing...and they appear soo casually...I laughed with surprise at this:
"at least i don't have a site that's just a webcam pointing at a fish tank. but maybe i would if i could keep fish alive."
That's a great, and clever line. Ok, I have written too much. Be well, Chris R.
