Just keep it simple - "head honcho" works

Michele

It's really very simple to secure the radio, just use Open-VPN or the VPN services of your internet router!

Mike says -- this grouchy comment came in this morning. I like it so much I'm going to go ahead and publish it. I think he's talking about my "generic domains" page, so click HERE to read the page he's so cranky about.

You, my friend, and by friend I only exent the limits of my vernacular, are an extemely smug, self-indulged, "cyber" queen nerd.

Mike says -- yup. But I've paid my dues.

Self proported as a soothsayer of domain names as if it were a mere accident you stumbled upon the utter gold-mines of names so, so early in the boom that was the "internet era."

Mike says -- I didn't say it was an accident that I got the names, I said that I thought they were cool. It was amazing that some many people agreed with me several years later. What was accidental was the selling-domains part. If I could turn my transactions into a science I'd be a very sought-after fella.

By my approximation it was way into the so called "era" per your timeline description that your so called accquisiton took place; as such, your introduction makes no sense; your "This is the quirky-oh-golly-gee-gosh-I-picked-some-gosh-darn-great-catchy-names, don't you love it when I use ((( and ))) to make me seem less of a gold digger" introduction/homepage is garbage my friend.

Mike says -- ah. Now we get to the nub of it. You're right, I should have qualified that sentence to say "early in the publicly-available dot-com domain-name era" since I got those names within a year of them being available to anybody but Internet insiders. Regarding the quirky gold-digger sentence. I'm OK with that description. It's working for me...

Please, for the sake of those that have to endure the curiosity of the internet at 5 o'clock in the morning after hours of work trying to find what they may or may not think is a website address to a newly opened restaurant in their area, change your bullshit web domain I OWN THIS SHIT page to something that sounds adult and looks appealing so your supposed buyers that you want to ficticiously convince of a supposed 1.75 million deal your turned down, may just believe your meandering teenage style ramblings as solid investment property.

Mike says -- um. But y'see, I DON'T want to sell those names right now. I think that's pretty clear from the page. The reason I'm posting your comment is to show people how well it's working. You, tired, at 5am in the morning, got the message loud and clear. The only correction is that everything on that page is true -- the reason I put the declined-offers number on the page is to put unqualified buyers off and telegraph my price expectations so's not to waste people's time.

This is not something I want to attack you about or debate, otherwise I wouldn've given you my true name and website.

Mike says -- hm. The domain on your web-site link in this comment is http://InRegardsToPub.com. Checking WHOIS, it looks like that name is available. Is that what you intended?

Final comment -- I used to get lots of silly email messages about my domain names. "Would you sell me that domain for $200?" etc. The short answer is "nope" a longer answer is on that page, and this is my final answer. Best wishes for your new venture.

Glad I was able to brighten your day! For those of you wondering what he's talking about, here's the scoop. I modified the "Page Not Found on This Site - 404 Error" page on my server to serve up a slightly different page. So if you type a URL that doesn't exist, that's the page you get. The tricky bit is that there are some corporations out there that point their internal servers at the corp.com domain, which I own. For example, suppose InterGalactica Inc. did that. Their domain for internal servers would be;

InterGalactica.Corp.Com

Well, for a long time that worked because I wouldn't resolve that name and their name servers (after first looking out here on the public Internet and not finding anything) would look internally for an answer and find the right destination. That all changed earlier this summer when I put a "wildcard" entry in my server that directs all non-existent URLs (for domains that I own) to that new 404 page when I took down the 3rd-level domain registry I was running under corp.com.

All of a sudden a bunch of network administrator type people called me up and, after answering the same questions several times, I decided to put the answers out on the 404 page. Go ahead, put http://www.InterGalactica.Corp.com into your browser. You'll see the page that tickled Michael so much.
