Random Access Memories

So I have had a free account with dyndns.com (now dyn.com) which was once a paid account in 2005. As some of you are aware they started requiring that people login every 30 days to maintain their free accounts.

This does not sit well with me, why? Because it’s flatly stupid. If you want to migrate your free users to being paid users you try the carrot approach first. If that fails THEN you try the stick approach.

The heavy stick approach lost them my repeat business. Rather than submit to their demands I figured out how to update Comcast’s dynamic IP at my house onto my Dreamhost hosted domains myself. This means I do not need them at all anymore, too bad, so sad.

I wonder how many other people have jumped ship.
