Well that didn’t work. Ok, note to self… don’t try to change the base domain name for your web site when you are transfering it from one registrar to another.
Seriously, when I say it to myself that way, I realize how stupid it really was. You may have noticed that this site actually resolves to rickmahn.net, I own rickmahn.com as well and have it forwarding here. Its in the process of being transfered to my new hosting service, and well, I thought I could do a few things that just didn’t work.
The short of it is that it’ll just have to be forwarding to rickmahn.net for another few days until the domain has been transfered, then I’ll move the site from rickmahn.net to rickmahn.com.
Sorry for any confusion! Just my stupidity showing itself :).

I agree with Dave Winer’s analysis about blogging is a part of life. The notion that an enabling technology being the news is misleading – the technology is just a mechanism for each of us to communicate our thoughts and ideas, in an easier, faster cheaper way.
Each new enabling technology (PCs, Email, Internet, MP3s, Digital Photography, Digital Video, etc…) is just another tool for everyone to leverage in their day-to-day lives. Saying that blogging is “dead” makes no sense, as there are millions of new blogs created each month. While some of this may be a fad that draws people in, I for one have become intrigued by the blogosphere and the conversations within it. Just like I was drawn into using the Internet as a research and communications tool. Of course, blogging may not be for everyone, just like Instant Messaging isn’t for everyone.
And Dave is correct when he says that new businesses will spring from blogs – the communication & collaboration is what drives new ideas and concepts. What do you think new businesses start from? Nothing? Ideas are what change industries and the world, and when you have clear, simple communications (i.e. Naked Coversations – see Scoble), you have the necessary foundation to build on.

Yes its true. I’m not on the Operations side of IT, haven’t been for years, but every once and awhile, I get to do some work on that portion – especially when its “my” systems (technically, I’m the “owner”). So I’ll be up and in the office at a bright and early (and cold) 6am tomorrow.
What am I doing? VPN is all I’ll say.

Russell Beattie has a nice post about his observations at 3GSM this year. Don’t expect a lot of technical reviews – as he points out, there are a ton of sites to get the tech scoop. I’d like to thank Russell for giving a different spin, I’ve always wanted to go to 3GSM and this adds another perspective that I appreciate

Ok, so we’re exploring RIM’s BlackBerry solution at work, and I’ve been curious about how to integrate other platforms (I’m a Windows guy – remember?) and finally started digging this weekend. Aha! Here’s the link to BlackBerry Connect for Windows Mobile 🙂. Well. we will just be tucking that into our project folder for later reference, hehehe…
