Re: Idiots

If they use Spiceworks and whatever domain my current employer is using, Spiceworks regularly reminds them that their domain is expired. Leads to a mini heart attack on my part until I verify we're still live.

At a former employer, we had a nifty (and very short) domain name that was grandfathered in, and would not have been allowed under the (then current) rules for domain names. I interpreted that to mean if we allowed it to lapse, we were hosed.

The boss insisted on renewing annually and as close to the renewal date as possible. I always asked if I should plan on not having a job the following year, since he obviously was not planning on being in business in 12 months...
