Some technical difficulties

You may have noticed (probably not) that betweengirl.com has been down for a few days.  This is because GoDaddy is balls and makes it as difficult as humanly possible to transfer your domain away from them.

I actually started the process back in December in the midst of the big SOPA/PIPA dustup.  I got so frustrated I had to walk away until my domain was about to expire and I had no choice but to act or lose it.

So I had to change all my settings in Blogger and at my new registrar and now I wait until everything talks to each other and all my forwarding and DNS and stuff is caught up. 

I mentioned a while ago that I was considering moving to WordPress but I discovered today you have to pay $99/year for domain mapping.  So unless I want to dick around with forwarding my domain from my registrar's side and have my blog at betweengirl.wordpress.com, I'll just stay here at Blogger.  Mama's too busy for all of this.

On the bright and non-technical side of life, I've been writing somewhat regularly.  Just not here.  And not for anything public (yet [maybe]).  I won't say anything else for fear of jinxing my writing streak.

So what's new in the life of the In-Between Girl?  Nothing.  Work, Skyrim, D&D, family.  Too broke to fix or replace anything, so I'm just waiting for the truck to die, in which case we will be well and thoroughly fucked unless we can sell the rotting, useless husk and get something cheap on Craigslist.  We are still without a washing machine.  I am trying to stay positive.
