WIGGUM DAILY

 

Unless you’ve ever registered an internet domain name it unlikely you’ve ever come across ICANN. They’re the body charged with overseeing the hand out of internet domain names in the TLD’s of .com, .net, .org etc…  Whenever you register a domain name in one of these TLD’s you pay an ICANN fee as part of the domain registration process. No biggie. It’s not much money. As you’re about to find out.

 

So anyway, I was over at my favourite domain register GoDaddy last week registering a couple of domains and I noticed there was a CREDIT on my account for USD$0.09…   nine whole cents. 

 

    

 

Turns out that there was some changes to the ICANN fees and I got back three cents for each effected domain I have registered.  Now I did think about investment strategies for some time.  I called my broker.  I called Donald Trump.  I called George Bush. They all said the same thing.  "Boy… you’ve got to SPEND money to MAKE money…"  So as you can see, I immediately reinvested the USD$0.09 refund on the purchase of a new domain for a new site I’m working on. 

Thanks GoDaddy.  Thanks ICANN.

You’ve made it all possible…

 

The story goes that this guy (the pilot) had just purchased this new helicopter, using a portion of cash far larger than his brain. And he has also just recently gotten his pilots license to fly helicopters. (possibly from a cornflakes packet)

 

 

Not much to say about this one really.

Just keep watching… 

 

 

With PC’s becoming more powerful and MUCH cheaper day-by-day, we all face the problem of what to do with the old boat-anchor that takes forever to boot up and even longer to get anything done.  You could just chuck it out on the footpath and let urban-nature take it’s course. Or you could get some creative ideas from todays video.
