Garoo

Domain Name: GAROO.NET
Registrar: GANDI
Expiration Date: 17-mar-2004

Lucky I did a whois today, by chance and out of boredom. The warning emails had gone to the spam-catching address I never check.

But, still… what fans you are. When I renewed the domain with my registrar, it didn’t ask for my identity at any time, which means that anyone among you could have offered me one year, anonymously, without expecting anything in return, just a random act of kindness. Mwahaha. (This is not an invitation to do it now: it’s too late, I renewed it for March 2005 and it would be pointless to commit to anything longer, as you never know what will become of me, and even less this site.)

Not to mention that nobody even warned me I was going to disappear. You secretly wish me dead, don’t you?

By the way, I hope that you weren’t too many to use the Amazon links on my blog. Looks like they weren’t interested in affiliating me, and they never bothered to let me know.

When I registered (well, I guess I should say “when I asked to register”, then), I found it funny that they invited their future partners not waste a second and start inserting sponsoring links right away, not wasting a second to start sending them customers. I thought it had to be marginally beneficial for them if those they rejected had already begun bringing them their business. Well, you don’t say. What I didn’t expect was that, not only they’d take advantage of it, but they would make sure not to warn the webmasters so it could last as long as possible. Thanks, Amazon, that’s so professional and nice, really.

As a retaliation, out goes the wishlist. (I’m sure they’ll cry over that one.)

And now I have to go over a couple of months of blogging to remove the links.
