  • My great Aunt had a terrific joke about Henry:

    Nixon is walking outside the Whitehouse near an area of freshly fallen snow.

    He sees NIXON SUCKS in yellow snow and asks the Secret Service (and the FBI) to investigate who did it.

    A couple days go by and someone from the FBI Forensics Lab comes into the Oval Office to report.

    “Well?” Nixon asked.

    “You’re not gonna like this.”

    “Just tell me.”

    “It’s Henry’s.”

    “I knew it!”

    “Ah. That’s not all Mr. President.”

    “What else?”

    “It’s Pat’s handwriting.”



  • I switched from Google Domains to Namecheap and found that they have a non-standard requirement for A records (they require an “@” A record) that messed up the transfer. Godaddy, dyndns, and Google Domains use regular zone transfer tables and I thought those entries were all I needed. Nope. I finally emailed support and they told me what was wrong within 24 hours. But meanwhile, my site was down for that time.

    I suppose if you worked with one of the companies they partner with and use the automated templates to generate a new entry, it would work out fine. But I was transferring an existing domain. I know better now. But I put this out to warn others.
