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!
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

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.

I finally let bigwhitepanties.com disappear into the ether. That hurt much more than it should have. Someone registered it, but there's no there there.
