BIG CHANGE

dsrtaotao.merseine.nu is no more.
it has been replaced by randomstring.org.
If you have an email address for me at the former, it will now work at the latter.
(dyndns.org, now dyn.com, gave me free service for ten-plus years. They cut it off this morning, and didn't explain. They don't answer email from non-customers. Eventually a friend who is a customer put me through to them; first the rep had no idea what was going on, and after ten minutes of talking to other people, announced that I was in luck, I could get it back if I was willing to pay them.
I told them that if they had, perhaps, given me thirty days notice, I would probably become their customer. Zero-notice doesn't work.)

Date: 2012-01-13 06:10 pm (UTC)I am now paying for control of randomstring.org, and although it was the result of frustration at (not) finding an unused name, it has already started to grow on me.

Date: 2012-01-13 06:24 pm (UTC)[UPDATE] They list me as a paid account, so I must have given them money at some point. Mystery solved. It's disturbing, though, that they decided to yank the rug out from under you with no notice whatsoever.
