Updates: DV Press, world's longest domain name, and a raccoon
DV Press
In DV Press: A Publisher that Cheats and Response from Eric Rockenbach I detailed the story of my tribulations with Eric, mostly using his own emails. The update is that Eric followed through on his threat to stop payment on my royalty check as retribution for my story.
I don't suppose I can expect anymore of the pittance of money that this deadbeat publisher owes me, but I do have the satisfaction of knowing that anyone who googles DV Press will find my story - and understand that they are at risk if they do business with Eric and DV Press.
World's longest domain name
In the Googleplex Blog and on O'Reilly I wrote about the world's longest domain name. Here's a correction and comment from a reader:
Hi
Your website is wrong !
The longest valid domain name in the world is :
http://www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochuchaf.com/
and not
http://www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.com/ as stated !
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch-uchaf is a real place - I used to live near there.
Keith
(Thanks, Keith!)
Raccoon
Check out the raccoon caught in the act of browsing our trash can!
