Those peculiar perl.exe processes...

[greggb]

I gotta watch those perl.exe processes. One has a memory leak and I need to fix it. I be putting on my binary plumber pants, bending over, twisting technical wrenches, my butt-crack shining for the world to see.

Fix leaks in those perl.exe processes, I will. Those peculiar perl.exe processes.

You want to know something I really like about Namepros? You can be gone away for eons, off on the other side of the galaxy, saving princesses and what not, and come back hoping you can remember your password...thinking it's been so long there's no way you'll still be logged in...and then you see your avatar off on the right side with a bunch of red boxes.

There are times when it is very comforting for me not to have to navigate the labyrinth known better as a login form.

I guess I should say something about domains, this being a domaining forum, eh?

And what's with this?

Chrome doesn't recognize "domaining" as an actual word. I guess that's because Google doesn't, either. Like father, like son. It doesn't recognize it as an actual word because all it is is a bunch of people clowning around, role-playing a bit, filling each others' heads full with hype. It's not like there are ever any serious ass exchanges of money for mere concepts. For things you can't even see under the world's most powerful electron microscopes, because they don't exist in the real world. They only exist in our collective imagination.

Anyway, back to domains, which is an actual word, probably because lions do exist, and have domains. Probably not because Google and its offspring consider mere concepts regarded as actual entities word-worthy. Only because lions have domains, and lions are real, and if you don't believe me, go to your nearest zoo, climb in the cage with a bunch of lions, and slap the #1 Lion right on the hind end, and tell me how fake lions are.

Anyway, some of my domains haven't been getting along lately. In fact today I had to break up a fight. It was pretty scary because I have crappy internet. Sometimes the internet here goes out back and takes a smoke break, leaving me standing at the counter, tapping the bell on the counter to no effect. And finally it comes back in, and glares at me a little, for interrupting its smoke break, and then it's like, "ok, where did you want to go again?" all snarky-like.

So I'm sitting here waiting for the page to load, so I can get one moved out of the folder at GoDaddy, and the internet is just being a first-class POS. And finally I have enough, and I reach out and grab it by its scrawny throat, and I say, "Internet, now is not the time to screw with me! Two of my domains are fighting and if I don't get one out of the folder, it may end up shredded into nothingness--prematurely expired."

I expected the internet to be combative, but it turns out that it's actually very sympathetic towards domains. In fact it wants to start a non-profit to promote more humane treatment for domains. So, it was then very helpful in helping me get LordoftheDomains.com into its own folder.

Brandigger.com was actually the one who started the scuffle. It was a clash of two egos, both of them being alpha-types. It probably didn't help that I depicted Brandigger as a piece of heavy equipment, ripping holes in the ground in search of domains.

Anyway, I'm kind of getting tired of this post, and I imagine you are too. So I'll let you go. You have my complete blessing to go. Please, go in peace!
