WWW.JEFFREYATW.COM Why did I get a domain name that redirects right back to Tripod? Well, gather 'round and I'll tell you the story. There used to be this great service called NameZero, that would give you a free domain name that redirects to another website. It had an ad, but seeing that registering a domain was $70 at the time, it seemed worth it. I didn't read the Terms of Service. Without much notice, they cancelled Free service, offered "Plus" service, and kicked me off of my domain name, keeping it for themselves. This meant that if I wanted to register the name with a different service, I'd have to deal with NameZero to get it transferred. NameZero is PURE FUCKING SLEAZE. They do not answer ANY questions to people who don't subscribe to their services (they do offer a crappy FAQ, though), so I couldn't ask them why they offered the same service for a number of different prices, and I couldn't get specifics about my position as a former Free service member. So what did I do? I gave them $20 to re-register my domain, to ready it to be transferred to another service. This way, I could modify my WHOIS listing to get it ready to move to Active Web Hosting, which has a really good rate - $10 month for a domain name and unlimited space, with restrictions on MP3's and large ZIP files. So while my order is being processed, NameZero is redirecting jeffreyatw.com, as promised (thank God), to jeffreyatw.tripod.com. The moral of the story? DON'T DEAL WITH NAMEZERO.COM. 3/14/2002 07:48:12 PM

Until further notice, I'm sleeping at my dad's house all the time, and visiting my mom's house one or two days a week. It's like a complete reversal of what used to be happening... and I'm glad. How the hell did the custody arrangement make us end up mostly with mom, anyway?! Of course, this "further notice" could be pretty soon, depending on my mom's ever-fluctuating mood. My NBC report is taking up so much of my time... and most of this time is spent staring at the computer screen, wondering what to take notes on next. I'm not an expert at oral reports, no sirree. I did make a vector-based graphic of the first NBC peacock logo so I can resize it for a poster... I may just show that for laughs later. Back to another week at school. Hopefully, it'll just be another ho-hum week... as in no major-ass projects will pop up. Oh heck, I forgot to talk about my birthday party. It went well, I guess. I had originally planned to invite 6 friends to go to the city with me, where we would watch Metropolis and then get a bite to eat (AND CAKE) at Max's Opera Cafe, and then go to the Metreon to watch James increase of azn pryde in DDR. Instead, 4 of my friends watched me beat FFX, we went to Fresh Choice (this all-you-can-eat salad bar), and watched the Time Machine, which was your average logic-lacking sci-fi adventure flick. Well, for a birthday party that took place almost 3 months after my actual birthday, I guess it was pretty good. (Insert comment here about how most 16-year-olds (girls) used to have a spectacular coming-out party, followed by a gay Blog comment by Brian.) I worked on MIDI's today... mostly by deleting MIDIs on my to-do listPthatRpeopleEdecidedTtheyZdidn'tEwant.LYay! 3/10/2002 10:23:15 PM

<VoD> All females are bi <Jonathan> All males are gay <JeffreyAtW> All Japanese Anime females are bi. This could be the stupidest ad of all time. In this Bush-led society, what is this supposed to make us believe? That these animals appreciate the existENCE (omg I spelled it wrong previously) of an SUV, and will coexist with it? Wrong-o! I mean, hell, ol' pretzel-chokin' Bush is drilling the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge for oil. All these cutesy-wootsey animals are going to DIE for that SUV. DIE. NOT LIVE. I recently erased my Handspring Visor's data, because it had a corrupt file, and would not let me beam, delete, or categorize. So I had to re-upload my graphing calculator. The calculator, though, came in many different versions... about every Slavic language ever made, and English. So I chose "En," and it gave me a Zákla, complete with Vědec, Celá čísla, and Grafy. WTF!!! Also... I know Tycho and Gabe will never hear this, but I wish to complain about their recent strip about the Fruit Fucker 2000. If the Devil were really to order a juicer in the mail, he'd get "the JUCIFER". Wouldn't he? 3/10/2002 12:57:21 AM
