Domain Popularity by Number of Queries

I have been using Zerigo’s DNS service on some of my domains for the past 4 days. These are the current statistics regarding number of queries. Obviously icurtis.me is the preferred location of the domains that I have started using here so far. Zerigo keeps track of # of queries because there is a max […]

Nerd Nirvana: Vanity DNS Servers

For as long as I have had domain names, I have wanted vanity DNS servers, but never had them, never even had a chance for them. Now after beginning a change of DNS providers I have 2 sets of vanity DNS servers. One for totally personal use (A-F.KULARSKI.ORG) and one for all other uses (A-F.NS.PCFIRE.NET). […]

eNom vs. OpenSRS

I have been an active registrant and reseller with eNom since 2000. In that time I have witnessed eNom go from a small company in Seattle to a large firm with multiple divisions as part of Demand Media. I have gone from having a personal e-mail address for high level executives to having to resort […]

I hate browser-specific bookmarks that don’t follow me. I do not want to have to use FireFox’s craptastic bookmark features (or that stupid star) – the Del.icio.us add-on can suppress the built-in features (but doesn’t require their suppression) Other options for “syncing” bookmarks focus too much on the “sync” aspect and not enough on remaining […]

Exploring TeX

Since I am an aspiring graduate student, I have decided that I want to write my next Psychology paper using TeX/LaTeX, but so far it is not being as simple to get into as I thought it would be. The syntax is clunky and there aren’t really any WYSIWYG tools to assist in getting started. […]

Instant Buzzing

For a long time I hated the “buzz” feature of Yahoo Messenger. Judging by the fact that no other major instant messaging client had included the annoying feature I decided it wasn’t worth worrying about. Several years ago as the number of instant messaging clients I had installed grew and I became more bothered by […]
