ChoctawCreek

Posted by Tony on 20.Feb.2008 | internet article

Back in March of 2005 I started a domain called choctawcreek.com and there I put a few nonsense items with one article on a centrifugal pump and how to operate it. I got more than a few thank you’s over the years for the help on operating the stupid thing. Now it’s time to renew the domain and I can’t decide on whether or not to keep the name or not. I hate to keep so many domains going for no real reason. I own about 25 domains right now and 7 are expiring unless I renew them. It cost like 10 bucks a year to renew so its not a whole lot of money but when you have so many it does get expensive.

I think I will sleep on it and decide later.

Update: 2/26/2008 - Well I went ahead and renewed choctawcreek.com for another year today, it’s so vulnerable right now due to several companies wanting to use the name that if I dare let it expire it will be gone within days so I won’t be able to pick it back up. I needed a couple of months to get my money right before renewing all these domains but it just isn’t going to happen so it was now or never. I renewed spacetoast.com too, it wasn’t in danger I don’t think but I am using the name for some of my email addresses so it was needed.

I have obtained and made available for download every IRC service I could find. How they work and how to configure them I will leave to you. My goal was simply to provide an archive for these increasingly hard to find programs. I have over 35 megs of them located at http://theredbank.com/downloads/irc/

There was a time when I was very interested in these programs but that ship has sailed and today my only interest is in maintaining a repository of the files. I was a founding member of the chatnet.org IRC network back in 1994 and between then and 1998 I was very active in IRC ( internet relay chat ) but there came a day when myself and other key members of that network found we were no longer able to get along so I left and have not been back since.
