everything's OK now, almost

The good news: I have my domain name.
The bad news: I paid seanic to renew everything last night but this morning the whois database said the domain was available. I couldn't just register the domain without having an account even though, technically, I did have an account. But I couldn't find anywhere on seanic's website to log in as an existing user to register a domain or whatnot. I'd contacted OnlineNIC, the registrar, and they said I had to renew the domain through seanic or else create an account with OnlineNIC, which might have taken too long. So now I've paid for two accounts at seanic and I'm not certain they're under any obligation to cancel one of the accounts and give me a refund. I just didn't know what else to do. I didn't want to lose my domain. And, despite the fact that I've paid to renew my account, it looks like they might delete the files and I might have to re-upload all of them. But that's not too bad. The important thing is that I have my domain back. I'm pretty sure.

I keep trying to check the whois database but I keep getting a timeout error. Grr.

Edit:....oh my god. I have done something incredibly stupid. I have mistyped the domain name when I created the new account. I still can't get at my real domain name in the whois database. I just keep getting a timeout error. And seanic never e-mailed me about whether they're renewing my account. I hate this.

seanic is awesome

No, I'm not being sarcastic. They really are. They did renew my account but they're not open all night as I thought, so they just weren't able to send me the confirmation e-mail till this morning. Not only that but they're going to give me a refund for the other account I foolishly created this morning, in a fit of sleep-deprivation-induced paranoia. Plus, it wasn't their fault I wasn't getting the e-mails; that was AOL's fault. They said it'll take some time to get everything set up with the database and all but Pirate Monkeys Inc. should be back online by tonight!

(no subject)

And now that all the worry is over, I'm going to inflict some meme crap on you.

( first, that hearts quiz that's been going around )

and then there's another thing but first:
Holy crap, I have to see this movie Kingdom of Heaven. Look how hot the cast is! Liam Neeson, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis, overrated-but-nonetheless-hot Orlando Bloom. And... and... Alexander Siddig! For those of you who aren't Trekkie nerds, he was Dr. Bashir on DS9! I had such a thing for him! I read Bashir/Dax fanfics! I hadn't really discovered slash at that point, or else it would've been Bashir/Garak. Or Gul Dukat. Because Cardassians are hawt. Anyway. You know where I'll be, uh, whenver that movie comes out.

Now here's the meme.
( thing about which movies you've seen )

IT'S BAAAAAACK

Pirate Monkeys Inc. is now back online and with a new update. Featuring...

A QUIZ!

Here's my result, to get the ball rolling:

Harry Potter Personality Quiz by Pirate Monkeys Inc.

No, I didn't just rig it so I'd get Snape. My analysis of the character has forced me to conclude that Snape is an INTJ.

...also we INTJs kick ass, and Snape kicks ass, therefore the conclusion is obvious.
