It helps to make sure the domain name isn't about to expire before you forward everything to it.
My bad. Working on it right now.
It's not easy to be this stupid, but I try harder.
Update: Y'know, I thought I'd get an email from Stargate before the domain expired, but I didn't.
But those 7,000 emails offering to enlarge my body parts? Those got through fine.
Also, the password that Stargate sent me to log in and renew the domain doesn't work. And no one is answering the phone at tech support.
Sometimes I wish Al Gore had never invented the Interweb tubes.
Update 2: We should be back up and running shortly at the new store ... the domain is now renewed through 2010.
Update 3: On Friday, as I was preparing for the big move, I went out for lunch. I got a fortune cookie when I paid:

Whew! For a second there, it felt like the day we opened up the paper and Calvin and Hobbes wasn’t there any more. I did find a good deal on some steel tubing, though.

Gotta love those Internets…... I don’t think people realize the trials and tribulations of maintaining a blog. Mine crashed a year or so ago and I lost everything and had to start from scratch. You’d think a computer guy would back up his content…
