Although I’m updating the blog quite sparingly, I’m still alive and yesterday I declared the love for my blog by buying a domain name for it. I’ve been meaning to do this from the very beginning but I didn’t believe I’d actually continue blogging for more than a month. Now that I got reassured about my dedication I brought www.mindspill.org

I registered the domain via Go Daddy and I must say that the process was relatively easy, though there are too many options to choose from initially. At first glance the site is so full of dollars and special offers it looks like spam but once I got beyond appearances (after 5 months) I handed over my credit card.

This impression soon fades away as you start using the site. I didn’t manage to get to the front page of my account after I registered so I had to click that miraculous “Forgot your password" button. The process of retrieving the password is quite innovative; I first entered my customer number then had to key in the usual alphanumeric image reference. This sent an e-mail to my account with an activation code and a timeframe of 30 minutes, during which you can change the password. There is also a similar mechanism to retrieve your customer number, which I’m sure I will have to use sometime.

These last months I’ve been spending money like a crazy fool. Yesterday I brought an EZ-Flash 2 PowerStar 256M Card and Linker Set for my Game boy which cost me $157 from BinaryGame. I need to find a way to restrain my spending but I’m not sure I really want to.
