I respectfully submit that GoDaddy is the devil, and suggest that if
you're going to register a domain name in the future, maybe consider
dreamhost.com or directnic.com, or basically anyone who isn't GoDaddy.

I primarily maintain it for myself so that I can keep track of things, but I figure some other people are interested as well, as it averages about 75 hits a day. I do an update about once a month, posting the new listings to the utahgoth LJ community at the same time. When I do that, there are usually one or two people who pipe up with events I may have left out, so that helps.
