The Ale House website is now more or less officially active at http://come.to/the-ale-house, or if you prefer not to get there by way of the country of Tonga, http://www.webnuns.org/alehouse.

You da man, Fang.
Just so y'all know, domain names are only $14.99 a year at discountdomainregistry.com . I don't normally buy things at places called "discount" anything, but this is WAY better than Network Solutions.
At NS, I bought thezew.com and 3j4.com. I typed the ISP # in wrong when I bought it. They said nope, I couldn't change it. Carved in stone. I was just screwed, and they kept my $35.
So I went to the Discount place and got thezew.org, 3j4.org, jimmyray.com, mtpacket.com, and some others I can't remember now. I just had them redirect to my web pages that are already on my own server, which is a free service.
I'll never visit Network Solutions again. Or the come.to people. Whee!

Correction - I got jimmyray.org, not .com. .com is taken by that European pop singer that did "Are You Jimmy Ray?" a while back.
I also purchased imabooger.com at the discount place.

Well I just grabbed houstonalehouse.com based on your sales pitch, so this better be good.

Better grab snerd.org before somebody else does.

The 'houstonalehouse.com' URL worked for me. I like how it doesn't put an annoying advertisement banner when it forwards (unlike mine, which I got from register.com)you to the site.

GIggle snort... I meant he "walked" me through, but it's irrelevant now, I'd think.
The discount place is excellent. Better service, easier to use, etc. than Network Solutions, and less than half the price.

Fang, am I right in supposing you're the webmaster for the Ale House page then?

Does that mean you can communicate with the web and know what it's thinking? Like the Beastmaster?

A Flowmaster is what they call a guy in a band who does a kind of running rap/sing/chit chat thing. Do you do that, too?
