ICANN will screw up the internet

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

The internet corporation ICANN is going to mess up the internet by allowing custom top level domains. This means that people are going to be able to have domains like “monkey.balls”.

If domains like this scour the internets this could be tragic. Finding sites will be so much harder. People are going to have to remember both words used in a url *GASP* or where the point goes in certain urls that are split up like “goo.gle”. I can barely remember where the points go in del.ico.us. I’m just too lazy for this to happen. Oh the humanity!! … Okay, maybe that was a little too much, but like I said, I am too fond of the .com, .net, and .org and I’m afraid it will dissipate into the void.. with the daleks and cybermen. :|

We’re Back!

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

So, about a month ago I forgot to pay GoDaddy to renew the hosting for SnyderBlogs.com and three of my other sites so they took us down. I’ve been spending my free time this past month trying to scrounge up the data I lost from every place I could think of, like feed reading programs and the waybackmachine. I only lost one post and some images so I think I pretty well.

Me and Jon will be posting again on a regular basis. We may add another author to this site quite soon so look for their first post.
