tao.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it has been replaced by randomstring.org.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.)

Long may it wave.

Sounds like a sad story of some kind. But the new Domain Name is nifty.

What motivated this?
Personally, I intend to have lse.org forever, even if it stops being my main contact point, I plan on it always being valid.

That's odd. They provide my DNS, which still seems to be working.

Not that I know of. I know I'm certainly not giving them any money on a regular basis; I don't think I gave them any when I started the domain back in 2002.

[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.
