ICANN refund from GoDaddy.com

Dear Wes Garrison,

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN(R)) recently agreed to reduce their Registrar Transaction Fee from $.25 to $.22. What does this mean for you?

Good news. You have been credited $.03/yr for each domain name you registered or renewed dating back to July 1, 2006* — $.06 has been placed into your Go Daddy(R) account with this customer number: xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Your in-store credit will be applied to your purchases at GoDaddy.com(R) until it’s gone or for up to 12 months, whichever comes sooner. If you have any questions, please contact a customer service representative at 480-505-8877.

(emphasis mine)

It’s hard to get excited over six cents.

Thunderbird spelling checker

I use Thunderbird for my email (works so much better than Outlook for IMAP) and I was sending an email to a friend planning a lunch meeting at Chipotle.

When sending the message, the spell checker popped up and suggested that “Chipotle” wasn’t the word I wanted. Perhaps I meant these, instead:

  • Spotlessly
  • Apostleship
  • Chippendale
  • Battleship
  • Spotlight

I’m not quite sure how Chipotle and battleship could be related as a possible misspelling, but at least it gave me a good laugh.
