You would not believe what happened today Mr. Blog.
After working with Connie for three hours I remembered to call State Farm to get more bids on product liability insurance. I had the nice agent on the phone and
she wanted to look at the website and it was BLOCKED as a porn site!
I'm so mad. Stupid, greedy, sex-crazed people.
Every time I hear the slimy pornographers going on and on about their First Amendment right to freedom of the press I have the same mental image.
All of the constitution writers are each on a giant spit that is inside their graves and they are rolling around and around like pigs on a rotisierre.
I had completely forgotten that nixpix is flagged as porn because of having two Xs in the name.
The Northshore and Shoreline school districts had it blocked until I could convince their techs to open the site and look at it and remove the blocks.
So, I pay $1,000.00 for a domain name that most people can't open at work.
Teachers are my target customers too so I am so miffed.
The original owner of the website, Nick DeWolf would probably think it is funny.
What an amazing person he was. I wish I could have met him. His early work at MIT and at Teradyne on semi-conductors laid much of the groundwork for computers. You should Google him sometime when you get the chance. He was a genius and excellent photographer and he owned nixpix.com originally. When he passed away his friend wouldn't give me the site for free
or $50.00 or $500.00. He said his best friend Nick DeWolf meant the world to him and he was sentimental about the website and wouldn't take a penny under $1,000.00 for nixpix.
Nick's pictures or nixpix for short.
Well, I'm a Nixon and I was writing my literary picks on the blackboard at
Kenmore Junior High and was in a hurry and wrote Nixpix for short.
I liked the way it sounded and I could have got Nixpix.org or net or edu for $5.99 but I wanted what I wanted. I had to take out a loan for it too and cranky old Jim in Denver was tough as nails over the whole thing. Took three months or more to negotiate the purchase. BLEH!
