MetaGraFix.com domain issues

MetaGraFix.com is now here 64.35.32.156 DUE to technical difficulties. Special thanks to AdSight for pointing me to the WHOIS about the DNS in one of my flakey moments. Sam there is a good friend and great provider.

If you are looking for http://www.metagrafix.com and are finding a cheesy page that say GoDaddy.com has 'parked' it, say no more. I know about it.

Basically I was in a rush to get to vacation last week and decided to do it technology free. I came home to a deluge of email and on my registrar's account, I was a bit harsh and just deleted many of them.

The domain was up that week I was away and I just forgot about it. Just shoot me. It gets better (or worse!) depending whose shoes you are in. Click below to read more.

So, I find out my domain is expired, renew it, change the DNS from:

PARK7.SECURESERVER.NET
PARK7.SECURESERVER.NET
NS.ADSIGHT.COM
CLASSIC.ADSIGHT.COM

to:

NS.ADSIGHT.COM
CLASSIC.ADSIGHT.COM
PARK7.SECURESERVER.NET (deleted)
PARK8.SECURESERVER.NET (deleted)

I figure all is well. OK, I gotta work on 'figure'ing' it seems ;-)

3 Days, at least 30 times editing the GoDaddy.com DNS page for MetaGraFix.com and about 7 calls later - each day, it is escalated and I am told that there is one person working on it. And that this person has only this to deal with. For 3 days?

So the last call was about 20 minutes ago and a Supervisor is actually going to call me when out from a meeting. Hell, 24/7 support. I really have been nice. REALLY.

But, in a nutshell, my resume and portfolio have resided on this http://www.metagrafix.com site since 1998 - not long in usual years but quite long in 'internet' years as on GoDaddy rep. said. I agree. They have all been really professional but something has to give.

I think I will just hit publish on this article and call them back. It has been an hour (not to mention 3 days of runaround) and they know I am looking to find a new registrar for at least all domains with them. What they do not know is I have steered at least 100 domains their way and might be able to move a good portion of them.

Who knows. If you need metagrafix.com, go here to the IP address for now please:

64.35.32.156

The trail on this article will be in the COMMENTS as I get them. I just got a call back from a manager who was eager to get me off of the phone to get on top of the situation - hey, I do give the benefit of the doubt. (rarely ;-)

Mean Machine - Ska Films Pulls Another Winner to The Screen

Mean Machine. A remake of the Burt Reynolds film of the 70's. That was a good film but Guy pulled it out and made one that matters. I just watched it and I love it!

! ! ! G O A L ! ! !

Just as Guy Ritchie delivered upon the US and world shores the likes of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and then astounded the US market with Snatch, his crew in Ska Films and Director Barry Skolnick and a host of the two movies characters show up in Mean Machine.

I got mine from NetFlix and I watched the UK version on the DVD i got. In a bit I may try out the 'domestic' version but knowing what I like and knowing Guy, Barry and their wit, there is humor abound in the dark worlds they bring to light and onto the screen.

As a matter of fact, Quentin Tarantino, consider this a dare to get back into action. 'nuff said.

Oh, and I have not watched Swept Away starring Madonna and also Directed by Guy (they are hitched and parents by the way in real life) and it seems as if I have no need to see this. You all can google and find out why his last movie sucked so bad.

But he did make a film for BMWfilms.com and it had Madonna in it and it is truly HILARIOUS! Nice cars too - the whole film library at BMWfilms is awesome. Be sure to check out Season 1 and two and you might want to view them in order. Very sharp. Really want to make me drive (can't afford) a BMW. Oh well.

So CHEERS to Guy Ritchie for having a great Career thus far and to the next movie yet to be released: Revolver. We can hope he 'swept' his wife away and got back to the humor of the dark side ;)
