A dot.com boom?
With the aid of an eagle-eyed reader, whom I met at my friend Steve's wedding in Louisville last August and who saw it on sale, I went ahead yesterday and procured ghostinthemachine.com. The blog's been here at .net for five and half of its almost eight years, and is pretty well-established here. (Put another way, it seems like GitM already has all the readership it's ever going to get.) Still, I figured it couldn't hurt to finally pick up the .com addy I'd been eyeing since '99, and which now bounces to this site. At any rate, if you've been using ghostinthemachine.net to get here, go ahead and keep doing so. But, if .com strikes your fancy more...well, now that works too.

Oddly enough, hiddencity.com became available earlier this year, but something was fishy about the offer I got to buy it, so I passed. Now it's a standard issue spam site. I may make an offer at some time, but I doubt it would get me any more traffic at this point. (Not that I am too concerned about my numbers, obviously; this is never going to be more than a frivolous hobby.)
Oh, and since I am commenting anyway, having the comments link at the top of your posts is taking some adjustment. I finish reading, and then have to scroll back to the title to see if anyone has commented, or to leave my own. Not a problem, but a little odd.
It does seem to be going around, I got blivet.org a bit ago. I'm not holding my breath on the .com, though.
Good to know, mkh. I'll play with it next time I dare to mess with the templates again.
