Sharp-eyed readers of the blog will note two significant points in the publication of this here blog-like product. (Actually, not even sharp-eyed.)
Point one: The URL has changed. (My name plus blogspot.com, not M&AD. It was too long anyway, I guess.)
Point two: It was several months since the last update... because I've spent that long just trying to get the site back online at the old URL.
These are related.
Here's the story... as a person with decades in the space, I have a long history of buying URLs. I've never really thought too much about it. So I used Register.com back in the day, and have kept using them because inertia.
That web site isn't around anymore. They've sold it to web.com.
How good is web.com? Well, here's the link to the Yelp review. Just to prove it's not just me.
17 reviews, all of them a single star, most of them wishing for legal action.
It takes work, honestly, for not a single reviewer to give you more than the minimum. It also shows that you so don't give a damn about your reputation that you don't even file a fake review on your behalf.
I'd say more about this customer service experience, but honestly, I've wasted enough of my life on these people, and so have you from reading these words.
Anyway.
Blog's back up, thoughts later. Sorry we were away. Back in a bit. Lots of work being done and lessons being learned...
6/29 Update: And now we're back at the old URL. Moving on, folks...
