Broox.com - Expired
So I had just left the house this morning and got an IM from Zach:
zachsatwork: hey something is wrong with your website
zachsatwork: Network Error (dns_unresolved_hostname)
zachsatwork: Your requested host "derek.broox.com" could not be resolved by DNS. Please verify that you entered the URL correctly and try again.
At this point I freaked out a bit because I vaguely remembered a "1 month expiration reminder" from Joker.
zachsatwork: thats it though, all the other sites are up
brooxmobile: Is kari.broox?
zachsatwork: down
So I freaked out more, pulled off at this gas station and logged into Joker from my phone while pumping gas. That's when I found out that broox.com expired 9/24 - 2 days ago. I about died. I tried renewing it from my phone but it kept breaking.
So I sped to .net training as fast as possible, logged in, and got my stuff all renewed - whew. Scary.

At least you remembered your password to the registrar.
Gosh that would suck! mobile web need to become more reliable for cases such as these... well SITES need to become more mobile-reliable that is...
I am glad you got it back though.
dammit, i should have registered it and held it hostage
actually joker had it on hold for me. i don't really know how or why that works, but it did...

I renewed it for 2 years this time - see you in 2009.
Too bad this year it didn't involve any speeding or phones not working.
