I sent a nice angry support ticket to RegisterFly today.

Hi,

It’s been almost a week since I posted my last support ticket regarding antichav.com without a response. What happened to the 2-3 hour response times? Seriously, I would like an explanation.

And for the love of God, can I please have the EPP code for antichav.com. Please also restore the domain – for free. I’ve been waiting for this EPP code for over a month now, I ‘ve opened up support ticket after support ticket – you have fobbed me off constantly, this is your fault!

The service level I have been receiving recently is completely unacceptable. If the situation is not resolved promptly I will be forced to take further action and if necessary, lodge a formal complaint with ICANN.

Regards,
Chris

I’ve been migrating my domains away from them for a while now but I’m being hampered by the fact that I now need an EPP code to transfer my domains away which is an absolute mission to get hold of.

Luckily, eNom have got tired of the problems and terminated RegisterFly’s reseller account (RegisterFly used eNom to deal all of their domains until they became a registrar in their own right last year). So all the domains that I were registed through eNom on my RegisterFly account have now been pushed to an eNom account.

As an eNom reseller, RegisterFly was bound to adhere to certain standards of customer service such as providing customer service in a speedy and diligent manner. Because RegisterFly was unable to provide customer service meeting these standards,
eNom terminated RegisterFly as a reseller of its domain names on February 6, 2007.

Now all I have to do is move the domains which are actually registered through RegisterFly which should only be a dozen or so.

I’ve been trying to organise some debates for Atheist Soc with the theists. Until today nobody had got back me though I finally got a text from Christian Union president Chris today. They’ve turned us down for a debate on creationism vs. evolution based on six day creationism not being a view held by all Christians (anymore). They did however say they were interested in holding debates on the gospel or Jesus Christ though so hopefully we can get something together soon.

Tonight was an interesting night. First of all, we were only scheduled 3 closers (there should be 4 on a weekend). Then Amanda phoned in sick so Rich agreed to stay on – having been on a day shift and started work at 9:30. Clocking out just before 2:30 that measures up to a shift of almost 17 hours. My marathon shift got out at 2:30 with me having started at 10 so he topped me by 24 minutes.

Not a bad close time though given we had no staff in the kitchen. Literally. With us being a closer down I was by myself in the kitchen and my last crew member on a night shift went home at 8:30. I usually lose the last one at about 11. Still, that’s it for another weekend of working, now I can get several hours sleep before I have to be up for uni.

There is a big dent in my car door! It would seem some retard has managed to slam their car door into the side of mine while in the car park at The D yesterday! This is so not cool.

Hmm. So I got up Saturday morning and headed off to work for a fun day shift. Didn’t drag too much after the first few hours though so I survived. Headed off just after 8 via Tesco and hit The Old Bar at a decent time. My plans for for a quiet pre-drink where somewhat overthrown by the fact I had forgotten The Old Bar hosts New Slang on Saturday though.

Total Wendy turnout was myself, John, Sophie, Verity, Phil and Cara (the usual Wendy attendees really, not that I’m complaining, it’s a good crowd) plus Sophie’s sister Amy also eventually turned up with her friend Dave. The music took forever to get going it but it finally did just before 2 and quickly went from bland to awesome so it’s all good.

The night ended with the traditional appointment at Pizza Milano who had run out of chicken – that’s that about? Went home alone too. Still, all in all, not a bad night. Gave me a bit of chance to start sorting out my room too which I’m battling to get back to a nice and tidy state.

The plot: A cure is found for mutants but it doesn’t go down well. Magneto begins to raise an army while Xavier tries to prevent all out war.

The good: Captain Picard and Gandalf in the first minute of the movie – what more could you ask for? Some shockers too.

The bad: There isn’t really anything wrong with this movie. But then it’s not the most amazing movie ever either.

Conclusion: It’s a fun movie, if you like X-Men then you will certainly enjoy this. As comic book franchise movies go, this is a very good one.

Reviewed by Greg. I gave this movie a 6.5 out of 10.

The plot: Simple water boy Bobby turns out to be an amazing football player and is drafted in to the college team as their star player though lacking in social skills or knowledge of the real world.

The good: Lots of cool people in it – Adam Sandler, Henry Winkler (you don’t get any cooler than The Fonze) and Fairuza Balk (much better known as Nancy from The Craft).

The bad: It’s not laugh out loud funny.

Conclusion: Another solid Adam Sandler comedy, it’s basically Happy Gilmore but with a different sport to the honest.

The plot: A portrayal of the changes kids go through when they hit the teenage years as Tracey’s relationship with her mother is tested as she decents into the crazyness of high school popularity seeking, boys, drugs and sex.

The good: It hits some key points and makes you feel good inside that you weren’t that bad.

The bad: It was fair criticism made when the film was released that some of the scenes are just gratuitous.

Conclusion: Very, very good film though a bit heavy if you are not into your deep dramas. It’s a fairly low budget movie so it will appeal to film geeks more though don’t let that stop you watching it, it’s far from a purely indie appeal.

The plot: JB goes to Hollywood to make it as a famous rock star. When he gets there he meets a man named Kyle Gass who agrees to teach him the way of rock and roll. They team up in order to steal the pick of destiny which transforms average musicians into rock gods.

The good: Tenacious D music, Jack Black rules, it’s funny.

The bad: Maybe a little low-brow, could have done with a few jokes that were a bit cleverer.

Conclusion: Fun movie, go see it.

The plot: John Bennett is your average guy – he works at a car rental company, has a small apartment and enjoys getting stoned with his real life teddy bear that magically came to life after he wished for it to when he was a child. Unfortunately, his bromance with Ted is starting to get in the way of his relationship with girlfriend Lori.

The good: Has some funny moments, plus Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis are always welcome additions. Good ending. Features Sam Jones, the star of Flash Gordon.

The bad: Doesn’t have as many funny moments as you would like. Could have been more Mila Kunis.

Conclusion: It was always going to be a big challenge when Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane announced he was making a movie, because we were all expecting great things. As it is, we got something reasonably funny, but I was hoping for better.
