The Interweb Gone Loco: 2023

kcmets Feb 18 2023 01:39 PM

I have owned the domain name kcmets.com since the 2,400 baud modem days. The domain has expired, and after jumping through some online hoops with the famed Network Solutions I find they want $42.99 for a one year re- newal and $35.99 restoration fee. I'm too aggravated to go check right now, and they only do humans Mon-Fri, but that's like a 600% increase from 2022. I'm sentimental about the url, have a ton of stuff on the kcmets.com server (not at Network Solutions) and I'm pretty plum pissed off NOW!!!

You could keep the domain a lot cheaper on Hunter Biden's laptop.

Did I mention I'm pretty plum pissed off NOW!!?? If I could get a high paying job in Ukraine not in my field I would gladly absorb the 600% increase and write it off to a sign of the times.
