Please stand by…

We are currently having some hosting issues with our hosting company. It appears the episodes are timing out when people try to download them. We are not sure why this is happening but we are getting to the bottom of it. We’ll have all the latest episodes of Dai-Cast up shortly.

And Speaking of New Millennium Mongolian Cluster F**cks…

Some of my readers out there may have noticed an outage on this site for the past week or so. For this I humbly apologize. This was due to my desire to improve the site, and the content that I can provide to all of you, and to a certain companies desire to protect me out of existence. I’m talking about GoDaddy.com.

Apparently Visa’s catch-phrase “it’s anywhere you want to be” is a little broken. See, I want to be in Japan, and that’s where I am. My billing address is in Canada, so that I can continue to be their customer. GoDaddy is located in the United States, where I have no desire to be at the moment. This, I’m afraid, was too much for GoDaddy to handle, and so now I have a new hat to add to my rack of professions: Credit Card Defrauder.

Yes, because my credit card was billed to a place different than where the sale occurred, I’m quite obviously trying to scam myself. And certainly, no phone number with 11 digits could possibly be legitimate. So, after spending a significant sum of money at an internet cafe purchasing their service, moving my domain over to their servers, and setting up my site, I went home thinking everything was alright. And in the middle of the (UTC+9) night, I received a series of emails reminiscent of a certain “Simpsons” episode…

You have half an hour to move your car.
You have 15 minutes to move your car.

Your car has been crushed into a cube.

You have 15 minutes to move your cube.

Your cancelation request has been received.
Your cancelation request has been processed.

Your refund has been applied.

Your website is now a cube.

Hooray GoDaddy! Thank you for protecting me from myself! I would have never thought that in this borderless age that making a purchase from a country other than the one I “live” in would be a problem. Thanks for fixing this “problem” for me without needlessly involving me; I’m sure it would have done nothing more than slow down your already efficient takedown procedures!
