Jasoncam.COM is back
* pretty big news for the jasoncam site. You probably haven’t noticed, nor should you, but I got my dot com back! you can now go directly to jasoncam.com, instead of jasoncam.tv (both will still work). I know, minor detail to all of you, but a big win for me.
my one consistant reader might’ve noticed my site go offline mid last year and not come back until this year. well, that was due to my shitastic hosting company at the time (phenominet) completely f’ing up and forgetting to renew my domain name, even after I paid for it.
So some idiotic company in all its wisdom decided “hey, jasoncam.com is available??? let’s hijack it and cybersquat all over it!”
Once I realized the problem, and the fact my site redirected to one of those generic search lookin’ pages that no one in their right mind would ever use, I noticed it had the typical “want this domain? contact us” links.
well sure enough the bozos got back to me and, get this, they wanted $5,000.00 for jasoncam.com. this truly deserves an LOL. go ahead, it’s appropriate.
Five grand for some middle aged dude’s webblog domain. I replied back, and none too nicely, that they could kindly go fuck themselves, but I was willing to give them a hundred bucks for it. Overvalued at $100 in my opinion, but what happens if someone ever finds one of my old jersey beer koozies again and tries to look up my site?
They of course in turn told me to go shit in a hat, and I didn’t even bother to counteroffer.
Instead, I noticed they had only registered it for one year. Thinking I would be smart and scoop it up from them when it expired in September this year, I waited.
Well for some crazy reason, they renewed the domain when I went and checked the internet WHOIS. I gave up hope, and was actually pretty happy with the .tv domain.
So about a month ago I get an email from the squatters again. This time it says “hey, ummm, you were interested in this site once right?” I said, yeah, but no mas dickfaces. To which they replied “well, we’re going to put the domain up for auction and the highest bidder will get it!!”
i chuckled, and signed up for the auction.
Long story somewhat shorter? The auction ended. with only one bid. at the starting price of $40. i won.
take that bitches.
* if you bothered to dvr SYTYCD last night, go to the part where it has the new orleans guy and he talks about how he is an artist. freeze frame it on one of the drawings… it’s a picture of a clown. and it says “SMOKE MY WEED. CLOWNS KEEP HITTIN” (last word hard to make out… but the weed part is definetly there, in big bold letters).
oh, and afro jazz? i need not say anymore.
