So. My domain name (davidgagne.net) registration expired on February 9. Rather than do something silly, like send me an eMail to warn me that it was about to expire, the folks at dotster simply closed my home on the ‘net and replaced it with that Renewal Notice. As far as I can tell, I got lucky and nobody else decided to renew my name for me. I realized what had happened Sunday morning and promptly sent them my credit card information to bill me for another year. As of now (about 3 pm) the site is still down and I can’t get my eMail or anything. Interestingly enough, I still have FTP access, so posting this to Blogger might actually work. I don’t know. The Renewal Notice has been replaced with a message saying that I’ve re-registered and everything should be fine in a few hours. But still. Geez.

I'll never share your email address and it won't be published.

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
