For my domains I know use Hover and for I got a deal with Name.com to switch. They both oppose SOPA and gave me nice GoDaddy exodus deals.
I got to do some high tech SSHing and mirroring to move 3 websites and 7 domains over, but I think it went pretty well.

It’s expensive, as all good fonts are, but you can play with it here as a web font.
books rule, kindles drool
Posted here, because no one else on the internet has.

I squatted on the twitter account @twitcognito with the idea to someday make a anonymous tweet thing run via DMs.

twitcognito


Well, thanks to my invite into the new site ifttt.com, I don’t need to code anything. ifttt allows me to set up a task that automates some sort of internet thing. In this case, I just send out the content of a DM as a tweet. That was all DMs sent to @twitcognito get aggregated together and somewhat anonymized. Access is controlled by whom I allow @twitcognito to follow. It will be a bit of an exclusive club. Want to be included? Send @twitcognito a mention and say Hi!
Limitations:
  • ifttt refreshes every 15 minutes.
  • Sensitive or illegal tweets still have a digital trail.
  • ifttt, probably has a limit
  • It requires a human to allow people in
