Okay, I realize I don’t write much here, but that will change once I finish off the next chapter in my book. The current chapter I’m working on is fairly complex and involved, and is the theoretical hinge upon which most of the book swings. Anyway, once I’m through that, it should be easy going, and I should have more time to update here. Plus, this site will also be redesigned and relaunched at some point in the coming weeks, in preparation for my forthcoming book from AK Press. I’m going to morph this into a site with links to my books, other online activities, and my professional work. And of course, it’ll always be a blog, and always shielded from my work domain.

Regardless, I have to move to a new domain (see below), and I have a redirect setup, but in case it doesn’t work, you might want to update your RSS feed to:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/BobTorres

All of the posts here should redirect, but I can’t seem to get the feed to redirect reliably — I think it depends on your reader.

Anyway, the problem is this: my .org domain is currently registered with the horrendously bad RegisterFly.com, and is set to expire in early March. For the past 3 weeks, I’ve been unable to update the whois records, transfer the domain, renew the domain, get the auth codes to move the domain, or do much of anything with it. Tech support at registerfly (currently somewhere in South Asia) says to try again in 24 hours. They always say this. They’ve said this for weeks. It got to the point yesterday where I asked some poor South Asian guy if he got tired of lying for the company. Long story short, I’m worried that my .org will slide off into a netherworld of expired registration shortly, and thus go out of commission soon-ish. For that reason, I’m going to move all of this to bobtorres.net.

Anyway, about registerfly: lessons learned. I hope I can get my domains transferred before they expire. They really suck. And apparently I’m not the only one who thinks so. Anyway, I’m not going to take the risk with this domain, and I’ll just move rather than worrying about it later.

Thanks, and more soon.
