No Comments »The first paragraph goes out to my Aunt Edie. She passed away earlier this morning. I got to spend some time with her one summer when I was in grade school. At the time she owned an actual food concessions trailer. She would drive it to each location and serve the workers lunch, then close up and drive on back home. I learned how to play backgammon from Edie.
Later in life, Edie and Uncle Ed, along with the kids, moved to a horse farm North-East of here. We had a few family get-togethers at the farm. The horses were being raised for the Kentucky derby, so they were rigorously trained.
For that, I bid adeau to my aunt. She lived a solid life and taught me a few things. I won’t forget it.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has voted to change a process that turned “Domain tasting” into a real big issue for many domain customers. The group agreed that it should change how the 5 day grace period on registering a domain name works. The grace period was to give people a chance to remit if they made a mistake on purchasing a domain name. It was also a chance to give a business time to do some market research on the name. But will this be the answer, or will this cause more headaches for legitimate domain purchasers?
Domain tasting is a term cooked up to define the grace period of a domain purchase. Let’s say a customer wants to register “thisismydomain.com”. They purchase the name, in which they have 5 days to turn around and say “I made a mistake and don’t want this one”. The idea was for people who misspell the name (in this case, we’ll say the customer registered “thisismydoman.com”) or decide to take their business in another direction a chance to back out of the transaction.
