I've Just Purchased CommodoreScotland.com !!!
« on: September 16, 2010, 03:43:18 PM »
Oh dear... I was looking round the net to find out how someone can use the Commodore name. I think I've made a boo boo :(

I came across a site where you could purchase Domain names and now after paying the princely sum of £17.61. I now seem to be the proud owner of CommodoreScotland.com :)

I now seem to have a website of some sort called CommodoreScotland.com and haven't got a clue about what the f**k to do do with it. :(

Anybody any idea what on earth I've just done, or am I going to discover that my bank account is going to be empty this time tommorow... :(

Don't have a clue about setting up a web site but I'm now wondering if it's all legal or am I heading for a law suit from whomever legally owns the commodore name.

Think Id better take some more of my medication now, cos right now I'm starting to get a bit twitchy... :nervous:

HEEELPP.... :eek:

There are loads of tools & stuff in the account for setting up a web page, advertising etc... but its gonna take me some time to figure it out.

Wonder if I could make it a free for all for everyone to comment on the whole sad Commodore story and to vent their views on all things commodore... :)

I knew things get around fast on the net, but it seems everything that you type suddenly appears in all sorts of strange places... :confused:

Found these at a site I'd never even been to before stuck between two news items about a major fire that happened where I live...



and even weirder this stuck between a story about battery hens & Susan Boyle...



http://www.boggin.co.uk/Scottish%20Life/West_Lothian.php

Just realised how sad the town is where I live when something I have typed here becomes news... no wonder we drink a lot here... now pash me ra whisky... hic... :drink::drink::drink::insane:

I've been trying to work out how I could make all the software and source code I've written over the years available to anyone who want's to use it.

The only method I've found so far is an online data storage site called MediaFire. I've added a links page onto the site for folk to download for free anything I put on it. However when I try to download some of the sample WHDLoad slave files I've put up, here on my imac they download but with the extension .txt added to them.

Was wondering if anyone knows of a better online data storage site or if there is a way to fix this. I don't fancy paying MediaFire the money their asking to go advert free if the downloads don't work properly.

Anyone got any advice or ideas, it would be greatly appreciated... :)

Cheers :drink:

Franko

Hi,

@ Franko,

Better have another jolt of that Irish whiskey. You paid way to much.

smerf


IRISH WHISKEY... :eek: blasphemour... :cry:

There is only one true WHISKY and that is SCOTTISH... :)

All those fakes & imitations need to have an E in the word. True connoisseurs of the water of life already know this... :)

But you were right... I was robbed... :(

Having just bought quite a few hours ago the domain AmigaUK.com from a company called JustHost.com. It turns out this company aren't too quick to respond on the 24/7 help site when you ask about canceling your account. :(

They took my money quick enough & responded very quickly to all my questions about how the frig I could use their site to set up AmigaUK.com. When I discovered however that you need to be proficient in HTML and their site was not all that it claimed to be and mentioned the words cancellation and refund, not a dickie bird out of them. :angry:

I'm bombarding them at this very moment with as many emails as I can type, word of warning, if you want to set up a web site avoid JustHost.com at all costs, there supposed to be the no 1 hosting company right now, but they're nothing but a bunch of money grabbing shysters... :rant:
