I’ve been playing a little bit^* with this expired and expiring domain script in my after-hours free time to get a good workout using SimplePie now that I’m pretty much ditching another parser at work. It’s pretty nifty, even though it isn’t 100% perfect.

Check it out and see if you can’t find something better for yourself than thisismydomainitreallyrockshellyeah.com.

* Ok, I totally rewrote it.

Operation9.com was transferred to my ownership from its previous owner near Washington D.C.; this effectively completes the com/net/org block. op9.com and op9.org are going to be significantly harder to obtain, so I’ll take what I can get.

Thanks to Mr. Martin, the previous owner, for being really easygoing about the entire process even though he was going to let it lapse in the first place. I figured it was far better to contact the owner directly than take my chances.

I’ll be moving the portfolio to its own domain in order to further situate things. Its new home will be 8hrs.net shortly.

You might say I have a thing for short domains — and you’d be right.

I’ve owned splurb.com for probably six or so years. I can’t remember exactly how long it’s been anymore, and I can’t be bothered to research it.

As of last night, I decided to pick up splurb.net and splurb.org, which I was surprised to find weren’t taken (though the number of returned results on Google for the word ‘splurb’ itself has most certainly skyrocketed over the last year or so).

Trifecta complete. I also renewed letsjust.be, because, let’s face it — it’s a pretty good domain. Not that any of them are active at the moment.
