I’ve had days of downtime on all of my websites which had domains registered through RegisterFly – because of a payment dispute on a single renewal. It’s just insane. This is what happened: I had a domain that was expiring and I was unable to renew it because their system is buggy as hell. First of all, it had auto-renew enabled, but I still got daily e-mails telling me the domain was expiring and I needed to renew it NOW.

The biggest Flash conference to hit the UK for over 6 years kicks off on Monday! The speaker list is absolutely awesome, with the top designers & developers in the world flying in to speak. Add super swag, a couple of parties and you can see that this is an event not to miss! Don’t miss the opportunity to see the latest cutting edge content, software, news, announcements, to get inspired and the important opportunity to network with other attendees from all over the world.

This just in; 37signals just released their book called “Getting Real” in html format, free to the masses. Read it free online here Have been thinking of buying it for a while, but now I can read a few chapters and see what it’s about. If it’s good I’ll probably buy the paperback.

I visited Alexa today and as usual I glanced at the “Movers & Shakers” section to see who’s having a good or bad week. To my big surprise the top mover (upwards) was something called “Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corporation“. I was puzzled until I saw the domain name: utube.com .. haha. lol (yes, a real laughing out loud). Here’s a screenshot: No way is this many people trying to reach someone who “offers wide selection of used, rebuilt, and new equipment for the tube, pipe, and coil processing industries” — these people are looking for youtube of course.

I love Markdown and use it for all my blogs independent of blog-system (I currently use WordPress, Serendipity and b2evolution and Markdown is perfect in that sense). It’s lightweight and beats any WYSIWYG editor on the market ;) There was a Markdown plugin for b2evo, but it didn’t work with the new plugin API (and the author hadn’t updated the post since 2004) so I decided to make one myself.
