Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
amych,
btw, the email reminders are working just fine now. The SMS still is not.
For instance, goocal is working fine with Sunbird (I can subscribe to the ical goocal feed and see my events in Sunbird)...but other web calendars, the feeds don't play nice in (30boxes for instance). Also, I would like to grab xml feeds from other calendars and have them show up in goocal. Not all of them are working right now.
This is apropos of nothing, but I totally just got my new large format duplexing laser printer to work. It's huge, someone found it for us on ebay for super cheap (less than the cost of toner), it stands alone on the network, so no more having to leave a machine turned on, and it's just lovely. It is going to save me so much freaking time from now on. And I can default to duplex, so I'll automatically use less paper. Yay, new gear!
Is there a grace period for expired domains? There's a domain name I like the look of, and it says the record expired on the 13th of April, 2006, which is most certainly yesterday.
Yet I can't register it.
As someone who has forgotten, several times, to renew her domains until after they expired, I think there is a grace period.
How long? I want it! I want it now!
Also, I have some domains I should probably renew.
I'm pretty sure I've spaced up to a week.
Jaysus.
I mean, good for you.
But I so thought I'd hit the jackpot.
hee Sorry. I spaced on one URL in particular two years in a row. I'd suddenly get all these emails, WHERE DID YOUR SITE GO?
Oops.
More annoying, this domain isn't even being used, at least not for web stuff. So I have every (unwarranted) conviction that I deserve it more.
Christ, my primary domain expires in less than a month. Let me go get that taken care of.
I don't
need
any more domains, since I have 5, and only two have honest-to-goodness uses. As Lucy Liu's character said in that crap movie with Banderas: "Some women buy shoes."
Oh, and what does "Status: CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED " mean?
I went on a domain downsizing program a few years ago. I was outta control. And I think that means, they signed up for the thing that secures your domain name so people can't hijack it. Or something.
