For the record, I hate Network Solutions. According to their site, they don't make domains available until three months after expiration- fair enough. So I called them exactly three months later, and was told that I had to wait an additional three months before I could buy it. The lady actually said that it takes three months for the deletion to be propogated through the DNS system, which is complete bunk, we all know it never takes more than 72 hours, and moreover, if I want to buy it, it doesn't need to be deleted at all. So anyway, I resigned myself to their incompetence and set up a script to run every night and check the domain for availability, so that I could snap it up as soon as it was available.
Today is the anniversary of the first post to scottraymond.net.
Never one to pass up an opportunity for easy, free content, I've added a feature to the sidebar that provides you with this fascinating historical perspective. On the way home tonight, I heard Os Guinness talking a bit on the radio about anti-intellectualism within the Church. I was very impressed by the little I heard, so I ordered a book . One particular point he made struck me. A caller commented on the importance of one's Christian faith being balanced, avoiding one extreme and the other.
