The case of the missing website

It was late. I'd just returned from work. I clicked my bookmark for the bytelink forums. Nothing happened.

Eventually, firefox gave "could not resolve address" as the error message. My bones shook. I quivered. I considered. I realised.

I'd forgotten to renew the domain.

Bytelink was first registered back in 2003. Renewed in 2005, and then due again earlier this month 2007. The email I originally registered it with is no longer in use. Emails sent to that address reminding me of my blunder went un-delivered.

Thankfully, help was just a phonecall away, and once business hours began on monday I managed to get the domain renewed, and less than 5 hours later, we were back and running.

A bit worrying really, but hopefully something that won't happen again.

Not much else on the Bytelink front at the moment, work is tiring me out, doesn't put me in the best mood for programming once I get home.
