[brlug-general] OT: squatter got my domain, hillnotes.org

[will hill]

Those of you who enjoyed my SIG lectures, flowers and other stuff at 
hillnotes.org, will have to use the nasty:

http://ensim.3esolutions.com/~hillnotes.org/

to get them until I fix things.  I'm sorry about that.

My hoster, Powerhoster, let me down and no one else was able to help me before 
Sigmund J. Solares got it with his NOLDC company.   Powerhoster did me the 
favor of registering my name last year.  The address I used was covered in 
spam and I missed the notification and only noticed when my site quit 
working.  Powerhoster then denied that they had registered my domain and 
refused to help.  I signed up with JaguarPC, but they were unable to help 
before the name was snatched up.  He puts in a porn site that he runs as a 
contact email when he squats.    

Mr. Solares shows up all over the net, most of it not so nice.   Some of the 
fun ones are:

Yeah, he's some kind of lawyer:
