You may have noticed yesterday that if you popped in here at BPC, there was no site to be found. I’m sure you were shocked and confused … as I was when I discovered it myself! It turns out … well … uhm … I’m a dork. At the beginning of the month, I remembered that the domain was coming up for renewal, mainly because I set the site up last year during the Blogathon. So if it was Blogathon time again, it must be time to renew. However, I didn’t have my PayPal card handy at the time – so I put it off. And in the chaos and mayhem of my life lately, I forgot to do it. So, it lapsed for a few hours, but once I fixed the problem it still took several hours (and for some people a whole day) to resolve so you could see the site again.
Even more frustrating is the fact that this is actually the second time this has happened. So last night I calendared everything else that is coming up due in the next year – and it won’t happen again!

Just glad you’re back! 🙂
Glad you are back online! When you start forgetting things and have to write them down…well, you know what that means! 😉
Hehe, see, that’s why you register domains for more than a year at a time. 😉 Well, that and because it saves you money at some registrars. 🙂
I’m with ste. I register for 10 years just so I won’t have to put up with that silliness. Glad you’re back, but why not just register for longer than a year?
That way, I won’t go a day or so without my cookies!
This reminded me that I needed to check on my own! I bought ailurophile.com in August of last year, and didn’t remember whether I registered it for two years or just one. Did a quick check, and I am safe for another year…it expires August 2004!
Maybe I should tack on a few more years now while I am thinking about it. Sometimes we buy domains for just a year, thinking we’ll get bored with them…but I have long since desired that ailurophile.com should be mine forever!
Glad you are back! See you in Haaahvaahd Square on Friday! 🙂
Yeah, cuz a day w/o cookies is well… a day w/o cookies. And speaking of cookies, have you ever though about doing a cookies on the road segment? You know, “check out these cookies I found in Boston…” Everyplace you go you must find some new (preferably pink) cookies to show us (or you can always cheat and just photoshop them HA!). Okay, I’m out of control here, I will now go and drink good Irish whiskey. Have a nice trip!
yes, well all of us at techieswithcats.com and glimpseofagrrl.com were suprised when we found out our server was being moved… during the process!! gah!!!!!!
Actually, Paul – you found out about it at the same time I did. That’s what I get for being offline…
Test comment, please move on…
