Welcome back my web site
Well well well… Thanks to some overly pragmatic Swiss domain registrars, my web site is back up. Why did it go down you ask? Well it was a domain transfer that went horribly wrong. First the DNS settings were wrong (the transfer set them back to the defaults). So I tried to log into my account and correct them. Dang it! I forgot the password. So I reset it. Wrong thing to do. Because I can’t get to my email, because that too is based on the matthayward.com domain!
So why are the neutral Swiss to blame? Well, they wouldn’t give me any alternative to resetting my account password. So I had to send a fax to Switzerland to request the management of this domain to be moved to another login. Then the sat on it for 5, count ‘em, FIVE whole days. Five days without email or a web site. What really ticks me off is it wasn’t some nerdy lawmakers that decreed a five day wait. It was them! So there was no reason for my web site to be down but for these dumkopfs sitting with their thumbs up their arses!
Anyways, lo and behold your irate blogger is back. This time with a genuine grievance. And you Swiss putzs should stick to pretending to be French and German and making cheese.
