…thy name is Peter Paul Koch. His recent article in A List Apart on script triggers contains a concept that is nothing whatever short of brilliant! It’s one of those ideas I Wish I’d Thought Of, and if I had, I’d have spent the rest of the day congratulating myself over it.

Well done, lad. Take a handful of kudos from petty cash.

And here we have…

one of the silliest spammers I’ve met. A long list of drug websites and “Don’t like us posting in your blog? Email me at xxxx.”

This message is silly on so many different levels:

1) Name one person who does like it when idiots post comments which are nothing but a string of URL’s having nothing whatever to do with the blog.

2) The address is, no doubt, a fake one.

3) It assumes they actually did post in my blog, which they didn’t.

thechessmill.com is back to being in my control again. Now it’ll just take a day or so to get my blood pressure back under control, and we’ll be Ready For New Things.

The business grows, and is about ready for some new capital investment. And most of the roadblocks in front of me are getting removed as I write this. Things are looking up.

Still no progress in getting It’s Our Domain And You Can’t Have It to cough up my domain. It really defies belief how people can operate this way and still remain in business.

I shall never do business with It’s Our Domain, excuse me, It’s Your Domain again. Getting them to do anything at all is like pulling teeth. I’m trying to move a domain, mine, that I bought and paid for two years ago, and they have locked it down and are insensitive to my attempts to control my own property.

They’ve made my “Black Hole” list. If things go in, they will never come out. Now I have two choices: pay their ransom (well over double the going rate for domain registration services) or abandon the domain name I’ve spent the last few years building up name recognition for.
