What just happened?

10:46 PM / Web / No Comments

I forgot to renew my domain, that's what.

Yes, I'm a boob. Mea culpa. In my defence, I didn't receive any form of email notification from NameCheap, the service I use. (Either that, or for some reason my email provider flagged them as spam. Either way, I never got them.) In their defence, rather than simply releasing the domain immediately they held on to it and gave me an opportunity to reclaim it, which I did without delay. Earning them further Brownie points, they restored my site in the space of three hours.

During the downtime, I did something I swore I'd never do and created a Twitter account. I've no idea whether I'll continue to use it in the long run, but for now consider it a little experiment into micro-blogging or whatever the heck you want to call it.

To combat spam, commenting is automatically disabled on entries older than 30 days.

Did a comment you tried to post accidentally get eaten by the spam filter? It happens from time to time. I get upwards of 200 spam comments every day and unfortunately don't have the time to weed through all of them in case something genuine ended up there by mistake. If one of your posts gets incorrectly flagged as spam, email me at whiggles[at]ntlworld[dot]com and I'll do my best to retrieve it.
