title: /me kicks VeriSign in the nuts.

<p>
First the bad news. VeriSign attempted to <a href="http://www.internetnews.com/isp-news/article/0,,8_805601,00.html">domain slam</a> three of my domains!  I filed a complaint with the <a href="http://www.bbb.org/">Better Business Bureau</a>.  If the same thing happens to you, <a href="http://www.bbb.org/bbbcomplaints/Welcome.asp#dont">here</a> is the form you want to fill out.  Oh, and never, ever, get a domain through VeriSign; use <a href="http://www.dhconsulting.net/">DH Consulting</a> instead and support our canadian friends instead.

<p>
<a href="/software/imlib2-ruby/">Imlib2-Ruby</a> 0.4.1 is out.  It fixes a few minor bugs and adds a workaround for the broken <code>imlib_image_draw_pixel()</code> call.  I also finished the first version of <a href="/software/xmms-ruby/">Xmms-Ruby</a>, my Ruby bindings for <a href="http://www.xmms.org/">XMMS</a>.

My <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000063574/103-9018584-8795066">iRiver SlimX iMP-350</a> showed up finally.  It's <i>really</i> cool; I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a portable MP3 player.
