Brrr… that was unpleasant.
For the last two weeks I’ve been without Glot. All just an error, but whose is hard to say. I waited until three days before homepie.org‘s expiration to try and transfer it, which wasn’t very smart. After it expired on the 13th, there was an unanticipated 5-day waiting period from Tucows.com (my registrar’s registrar? I think?) and after that, the nameservers “didn’t carry over,” and we had to wait for them to “propagate for up to 72 hours,” and even that “didn’t work,” blah blah bleh. I just kept calling Moniker customer support and eventually I got high enough that somebody flipped a switch and BOOM everything works exactly as before. That sucked, but boy does it feel nicer now.
It sort of reminds me of something which happened around exactly this time last year.
One of the worst parts is that my primary email is located on the homepie.org domain — so even though it’s hosted on Google Apps, the magic of the internet couldn’t find it. I’m sure I’ve got a lot of newsletters to re-subscribe to, and a lot of people to inform that I’m not dead yet.
Regardless, it’s good to be home. Don’t let me do that again.

I said to my wife this morning, “Who Cares isn’t working.” She said, “So what.” I’m happy you’re back and using glot; you’ve been quiet here for awhile. Needless to say, “Can I come back too?” Sonomabuzz, in the the land of haiku is working fine.
