remember remember the 2nd of November

I've been watching the Discovery mission at the ISS on Nasa TV today whilest doing worklike and nonworklike thingers.  It's fascinating reality tv.  I can't wait to see which astronaut gets voted out of the airlock.

I pulled the trigger on the home theater room setup and ordered a projector, screen (100" diagonal), audio system, and an all-empowering-overtly-expensified hdmi cable.  I spent several hours last night moving my weight bench and all the extraneous and miscellaneous junk out of what will be our own personal cinema.  The projector and screen are being shipped and enroute, but I set up the audio last night and tested a dvd-r copy of V for Vendetta to make sure that my new player will play that media format and to check out the sound...which is most impressive.  I'm going to borrow my dad's reciprocating saw/sawzall and cut a window into the wall of the walk-in closet at the rear of the room to shelf the projector and audio-system into.  I need a nice/clean old/cheap couch until I can decide what to do with the furniture situation.  I thought about picking up a popcorn machine, but I'm going to opt for a microwave on a small table.  I'm going to decorate the room with an at-the-movies theme too...I just need to decide which route to take.

Complete change of topic...but can anyone recommend a good domain company to transfer a domain name to (from Hostcentric)?  I use Yahoo for all of my stuff, but for whatever reason they don't transfer domain name registrations from other companies.

I really focked up my Gallery install on my hosting.  I went to upgrade to Gallery 2 and accidentally installed it in the albums directory that Gallery 1 uses.  Now they're both focked and I can't delete the directories with my ftp unless they're empty.  They're not...subdirectories upon subdirectories with files upon files that have to be deleted individually will take an hour and a piece of sanity to rid of.  That's what I get for being greedy with modules and themes.   Fock.

I always recommend Dreamhost. They're cheap and give you buttloads of space. I've got a referral link on my LJ.

Well I don't actually need hosting...I need to transfer the Name with a different registration service. I'll look into them anyhow...danks.

Gotcha. Most of the ones I used back in the day aren't in business anymore, WHEE.

Do you just want to transfer the domain name, or do you want hosting, too? I use doteasy as my host--they charge $25/year for domain name and you get free hosting with that. I also have another domain name that forwards there, and that's trough 1&1--they charge $5/year for just domain w/ no hosting. They probably both charge more for a transfer, but I'm not sure about that.

(Didn't see that you already answered the hosting question... whoops. So check out 1&1; I've been happy with them.

Thanks for the info!

I guess I'm not getting enough space/bandwidth from my hosting for the money. 500mb disk space/10gb bandwidth for $5/month.

I've had good luck with them for several years though.

Careful about getting things too fancy in your house.
I know that town you live in. You're liable to be
burned at the stake for witch craft if you use technology
the rest of the locals doesn't understand. :)
