what’s another word for “synonym”?
So, sometime tonight or tomorrow I’ll change the DNS settings on this domain and make a move over to a new host… No need to be alarmed if the site disappears for a little while, though I think I’ll have things set up so that shouldn’t be an issue.

We got some hail last Saturday here in South Austin; the stones were around the size of a superball — you know, those little super-bouncy deals you get for a quarter out of the grocery store gumball machines. Check out some fairly crappy video I shot (bear with me; I just got the camcorder and started messing with iMovie that same weekend):
Looks like most of SXSWi folks just missed out on some good old fashioned Texas hail, but that’s OK — the stones were bigger last time anyway.
Our business site at www.zzanginc.com is down for a little while, as well as email for that domain. I decided to move the domain to a new registrar & host, and the old host decided to punish me for leaving their service by shutting down my account entirely instead of waiting for the domain registration to transfer, even though I was paid up with them through the end of next month. Bastards! Anyway, I’m hoping it’ll be back, this time under the care of a better hosting company by the middle of next week. Sheesh.
So, just because I can, I’ll say this for the sake of Google and their next potential customer: I highly recommend that you do NOT host a website with Coast Internet Solutions, Inc. (aka Coast, Inc.). Maybe they’ll catch this mention of their company on Google or Technorati and care to comment on why they choose to treat ordinary customers so shabbily, but I won’t hold my breath.
