The return of typhoon8
I have finally, after months of effort and four transatlantic faxes, managed to persuade Network Solutions that I am actually who I say I am. They have now changed my registered email address (they still had the old Hong Kong one) so that I once again have access to the typhoon8.net domain. Thanks to the free URL redirection service at MyDomain.com, I've pointed typhoon8.net to this page for now.
On a related note, while looking into the typhoon8.net situation, I noticed that typhoon8.com has been registered to an outdoor adventure company based in Hong Kong. On their website's links page they have a link for the "other" typhoon8, and the link is to the Hong Kong Observatory's typhoon signals explanation page! In the spirit of one-upmanship I thought I'd post this:

Maybe I should email them and demand inclusion on their links page! Or maybe I should just flog typhoon8.net to them.
