admin dead letter post

[martin ewen]

I have a PO number in australia but I'm just renewing the reg of my site and may need a dead letter drop, that is, a west australian address that a letter is sent to every 2 years telling me to renew my reg. Thats my ideal option, the next best is just anywhere in aus.
I need it to get my site back online.

what doen't kill you only makes you more impatient for death

I can do it myself but before that I thought I'd hang it out there.
Australia runs its .au domains like your spinster great auntie runs family picnics.
No fun, masses of structure, senseless arbitrary bollocks.
So my domain expired, so I renewed it. But to put it up I have to go through hoops like applying for a registered business, to get the magic numbers required for any aussie server to put it online.

I'd just buy a .com domain
(entertainmentsadesperateattemptatkeepingdemonsatb aylaughnowpaylaterhowwouldyoulikemy patentedjugglingenema.com is STILL available)

But my sites been up since 98 or so and I have ego issues with being linked to the encyclopedia britannicca and number 1 on google for 'unhappy clown'

So what I'm looking for is some australian entity that has a reg business and is prepared to hold my domain on my behalf.
I already have a server etc, what I require is someone to hold the reg of my domain under their business.
Its effortless (more or less) and I'll happily pay a fee.

I'd offer to help, but sadly Australians are the only people in the world who don't think that New Zealand is a part of Australia.

too bad... imagine the international cool you'd recieve from having the mailing address:

middlearth
new york street

Its a request not 'Who I've slept with..' scatter-verbage

"I once dated a girl from NZ and I have had sex with a girl from Aus."

So sex is kinda 'pre-dating' in australia?

Simple problem, simple solution.
You have a reg australian business?
I will pay you to purchase a domain on my behalf.
I have alternatives but thought that fee's I'll end up paying could go to some friendly 3rd party instead of the aust gov.
whatever...24 hours

never had an aussie girl but made a play for one once

mart, what about re-doping the meta tags and communicating with brittanica to switch things over to .com, prestige et all?

[martin ewen]

first things first

I'll do that, good idea, I've putmyself up on

https://www.antigravitytheatre.com

and have THOUSANDS of fucked up links, so I'm in the middle of quite an intimate relationship with my html architecture.
Which is a good thing.
I've dropped the .au thing altogether.
I'm also pointing
anti-gravitytheatre.com
antigravitytheater.com
and
anti-gravitytheatre.com

towards antigravitytheatre.com

and pruning old content and corralling new content
to live at
martinewen.com (non performance site)

and getting roguesatellite.com together as well.

that and skiing and making stilts and my winter should be bearable. (thank you maryland ren faire)
(and thank you peter voice for offering to help with my original problem)

So now you seem sorted, I'm going back off topic and answering your question.

One Australian girl, with a brain, decides that she doesn't want to date me, I ask her out, over and over believing that persistency will pay. She turns me down over and over saying it would jeapordise our freindship.

One night she buys me two beers, tells me she is off to Italy, that although we are great mates she is terrible at keeping in touch and I am never gonna see her or hear from her again.I laugh cos I realise that this is true. I say "Right, so dating you tonight wouldn't enganger our friendship.

She replies "I want it to go down on record that I never ever dated you." However she does suggest that I take her home. The rest is history.

I'm sorry if my earlier remarks were in any way offensive to Australian girls in general, or to the Australian people it was not my intention. I was drunk and stupid when I wrote those remarks. Which is why I removed them after some cold evening air.

Don't pretend you have never slept with a girl that you wouldn't date, well she slept with me although she definately did not want to be socially linked to me in any romantic context. And I'm bloody glad she did.
