#$@&!

So I've sent seanic.net 3 messages now and they still haven't e-mailed me. I gave them both of my e-mail addresses. And for the past hour or so, I haven't been able to access either of my e-mail accounts. They're totally independent of each other; neither is on my own domain. What the hell is going on?!

Maybe I just have really bad karma from updating my journal while at work...

Update: OK, still no access to UCD alumni e-mail account but I can get at my AOL account and there's still no word from seanic. Why Whyyyyyyy? It's not that it thinks mail from seanic is spam; I already checked that. So now I've e-mailed AOL to see if there's any other reason I might not be receiving e-mail from a particular address. I've always gotten my e-mail from seanic at my AOL address before. I also e-mailed OnlineNIC, the company that's listed as the registrar of my domain, to see if I can at least get that renewed. They're based in San Francisco and I have a phone number for them but when I call there's just a recorded message: someone sent a ton of people spam claiming that said people owed OnlineNIC a ton of money or something and we couldn't handle the hundreds of phone calls we were getting so here's a recording. E-mail us.

*cries*

It's not the worst-case scenario, at least not yet. I finally got an e-mail from seanic on my UCD address, saying they'd been sending notices about non-payment to my AOL address. So I've paid now. What remains to be seen is whether I can get my domain renewed in time. I have until Wednesday, at which point seanic will delete all my files. I think. I'm not sure what'll happen if I don't get my old domain back, now that I've already paid. Presumably, I could just get another domain temporarily. I'm waiting to hear confirmation from seanic that they acknowledge my payment. And from OnlineNIC about renewing my domain. The only thing that worries me is that OnlineNIC will be slow about it and I'll get the domain back but only after seanic's canceled my account and deleted everything. I have almost everything on my hard drive; there are maybe fewer than 10 images - banners for other people's sites, avatars, that sort of thing - that I just put on the server and didn't bother to keep but I can go and get those easily enough. So I guess, objectively, it's not all that bad. Not like I didn't have my files on my hard drive. ...the way my luck's been going, my computer'll crash next. So I'm just burning all my web stuff onto a CD. OK, there it is.

I just feel so stupid for not having realized earlier that they were sending me the e-mails and I wasn't getting them. Goddamn AOL. If I didn't get the e-mail address free with my parents' account, I'd cancel it. I'm going to stop using it for anything important, though.

I also feel bloody annoyed that all of this could have been avoided if seanic had let me give them my new credit card number when I tried to.
