Even code gods

forget to renew their domains -- look at Mitch Kapor's Chandler project. Whois knows nothing of osafoundation.org this morning, either.

I'm sorry. I know you have been a good person all your life. I know you have deserved salvation, and -- believe Me -- God would have taken you to heaven, but it's just ... well, rules are rules; Gabriel forgot to renew the domain, and you have been redirected to spend eternity in a yahoo mailing list about Hugh Jackman instead.

... and now a domain squatter has it. Tough break for the OSA guys.

Am I missing something? That link goes to a page that looks remarkably like the OSAF homeworld...

How nasty.

Yet after your first comment, it was going to osafoundation for me. Very odd. I wonder if it was related to the google shenanigans: if someone has found a way seriously to screw up the DNS?

Textile formatting works here. Double hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes, quotes are automatically smartened. You can put dashes and asterisks around text to make italics bold and other silly effects easily.
  • Text wrapped in Asterisks which * will be bold. The asterisks must touch each end of the bold text. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Text wrapped in underscores - _ - will be italicised. The underscores must touch each end of the italics. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Paragraphs starting bq. will be block quoted. There must be no space before the "b" and one space after the full stop.
  • A hyperlink is made by wrapping the link text in double quotes, followed immediately by a colon, then the URL. If there is a question mark in the URL, wrap the whole lot in square brackets.
  • I use two classes to mark up text that deserves it. sane text looks like this. loony text looks like that. The syntax for those is %(sane)[space] sane text %; loony is left as an exercise to the reader.
