As I Xi It v2.3

Having just renewed my domain, I’ve come to realise that this website is 3 years old today.

Over the years its undergone many guises from some sort of online photoalbum, site about stuff, blog, photoblog and now a blog-based website which kinda includes all of the above. The photoblog is still about and viewable if you click on As I Xi It (2007-2008) in the links section.

Happy birthday xiyuonline.com.

I was fiddling around with my site while I was at work and all was fine with xiyuonline.com, when I got home in the evening, my site had disappeared! Turned out that I forgot to renew my domain. Anyway, since my domain was only expired for a few hours, I dropped a message to those people at Big Wet Fish, paid my subscrption and all is well again. They replied to my message really quickly, as in within 30 minutes at 10-something pm at night!! Kudos to them, there’s no substitute for quality customer service. In the first year that I had my account with them, they sent me a Christmas card, but they haven’t done so since. It’s just as well, I don’t see the point of Christmas cards, a waste of resources. Think of the trees!!

It would’ve been a real pisser if all the data had been deleted and I had to upload and set everything up all over again. All that fiddling and tweaking the past few days would’ve been lost in some big webbie hole somewhere.
