Hi everyone,
Some of us, offline, have been talking about acquiring the old
"sockheads.com" web address to possibly post some of the convention pics,
etc.
Here's the letter I got from DomainSource today.
Talk about un-cres....
(Take a minute to read the note below and marvel at the unmitiaged greed,
etc.)
So, I've gone ahead and reserved sockheads.net from Network Services.
It's in my name, but that's just so we don't get hosed by domain companies,
etc. Now, all we need is some web server space and some bandwidth. I have
a pretty small backbone here at weasel-bot.com, plus I need to put some
more hard discs up, etc.
I do have 20 Megs on qwest.net's servers that we could use. That might be
a good place to put up some pages to start. Anybody want to help with some
HTML, etc?
Let's get this happening!
Cheers,
Paul
