The Latest Cunning Plan

My ISP announced a wonderful new service last week: for £4.99 a year, you can withold your full details in the Whois database.

Meaning what? I hear you ask.

Meaning that I can now have a .net or .com address without letting the entire universe know my full address and phone number. In fact, having reserved a .net domain and applied this lovely add-on at the same time, it looks as though even my name is hidden. Fabby indeed!

So I've actually moved the hosting package I bought in January to the new domain and redirected this domain back here. Well, might as well, since there's nothing Discworld-related up there. And I feel far more motivated to do my own site (this being a private, ego-expansion-type of site) than I do for this one... and, strangely enough, ideas about material for The Footnote are starting to germinate, now I'm actually thinking about something else.

So, all to the good.
