That made me remember our mail opening parties, where randomly drunk, one of us would reach for the pile of other people's mail and see how much they owed to whom. “while the new tenant is probably an honest guy who wouldn’t ordinarily open someone else’s mail,”

Hah. That made me remember our mail opening parties, where randomly drunk, one of us would reach for the pile of other people’s mail and see how much they owed to whom.

INVEST in a DOMAIN name. they couldn't be cheaper. some places in the states are as low as $5.99/yr. (much lower and THEY probably will steal your domain from you). some provide stealh web page redirecting, and email forwarding and aliasing. if not, mydomain.com provides those basic services for free.... and i had been using them for years. recently i've upgraded. i've switched to anonymous domain registration (an extra $8/mo).... which i figure is barely worth it right now... but will become more and more worth it as time goes on. it basically hides all the information that i used to register my domain... like addresses, phone numbers, etc. i've also upgraded and will soon no longer need mydomain.com. see, i now have 10G of webspace, and unlimited bandwidth. of course i have those piddly unlimited email accounts and aliases as well. what does this cost? under $8/mo. is it more than i need? hell yes... ... but i will have my domains and my emails for essentially $10/yr. ryan my friend, it seems you have too much time, and money on your hands. why not give some of it to me? some of both time & money.

it was recently said to me that i am so busy that i need a personal assistant. since it seems you have so much time on my hands i nominate you…. nominations closed….. hey lookie there…. you are now my assistant.

as well, i must scream: OVER FIVE DOLLARS PER MONTH!!!?!!! you are right mad man, i feel a fever a brewing. i can help you. let’s get that money transfer to me happening and you will marvel at the speed of your recovery.

you may find interesting, that i have made two attempts at a personal, lifelong address. the first was a couple “canada.com” accounts that promised “free email for life” back before global owned that domain. i had “jarm”, and ‘jayarmstrong” and i was happy. unfortunatley those red bastards at global when taking over canada.com did not follow thru on the previous owners agreements. alas… they WERE free….. and now global charges a “nominal” fee of something like $10/yr. unfortunatley, i got my parents into this mess as well. and it saved them once. when most everyone else had to change emails from whatever@home.com, my parents stayed the course at canada.com.

now here’s the real way to do it. i’ve been doing it since 2001 and it is still going strong. INVEST in a DOMAIN name. they couldn’t be cheaper. some places in the states are as low as $5.99/yr.
