Welcome spaceninja.org to the fold! Together with spaceninja.net and spaceninja.com, this completes the holy trinity of the spaceninja domain! I toyed with the idea of buying the .info and .mobi domains also, but then decided that I don’t care.
Of course, that’s what I originally thought about spaceninja.org, and a few years later when someone had bought it, I was kicking myself for that decision…

COMING SOON!!!
Continuing her tradition of kick-ass gifts, KT gave me a fondue set for my birthday. While she was in town this weekend, we decided to get together with Steve and Miles and have a fondue night. After we looked up how to make fondue on the web, we got the ingredients and managed to make a pretty good one! Thanks, KT!
Also, I finally managed to get the new design for Killing Machines posted. Hopefully now Steve will get the user login options coded up so that I can enable skins for journals, too.
Having all this spare time is a little frustrating, because I feel motivated, but some things I just don’t have the resources to do right now. For instance, I would love to start doing Poekoelan (did I spell that right?) with Steve, but I can’t afford the classes (or health insurance) until I get a job. I’d also love to teach myself some programming, but I can’t afford any manuals, and my net connection isn’t good enough to just do it all online. Oh well… hopefully I’ll find a good job soon.
Oh, and I finally broke down and renewed spaceninja.com with Network Solutions. The domain transfer to joker.com got canceled AGAIN. This time, Network Solutions said it was because my account is not paid. So they want me to renew my account for a full year just so I can transfer it to another registrar and not use the services they want me to pay for. Joker emailed me and said that Network Solutions is denying transfers that they are supposed to be approving, and that I can possibly try the transfer again for free when Network Solutions stops breaking the rules. Ugh.
Ah, it’s good to be back in Portland. It’ll be better once I have a job and an apartment, but it’s still good right now. Things with living at home again are going smoother than I expected. Both my parents and I are falling over each other trying not to step on each other’s toes. Considering that I was expecting it to be kinda tense at home, that’s very good.
I talked to Annie last night, and her surgery went fine. She’s sleeping a lot right now, which is what she always does when she’s doped up on pain killers.
I possibly got a web design job! This guy found me on spaceninja.com and emailed me to ask for a quote. Apparently I gave him the best deal, because he said he wants me to do it! As soon as he gets the money together, he’s going to have me produce a site for him.
Oh, and still no word from those jerks over at Network Solutions. For those of you who don’t know, spaceninja’s up for renewal, and I tried to switch registrars to joker.com which has better prices, and they told me that the transfer was denied by Network Solutions, the current registrar! I’m not entirely surprised, since tales about NS’s fishy behavior abound, but I am angry. So far they haven’t answered my inquiries about why they denied the transfer, so I’m going to send them a few more emails. Grrr.
