Idempotent
Published January 15th, 2008 in TumbleUPDATE: It seems Network Solutions has turned off their search “feature” where they register the domain you just searched.
Here is a fun little experiment…
- Do a search for a random domain on GoDaddy.com. I chose
networksolutionsactuallyregisterseverydomainsearched.com. If the domain has been taken, think of another one. - Then go to Network Solutions and do the search on the same domain. Note that the domain is still available.
- Now go back to GoDaddy.com and search one more time.
Hmmm. Seems Network Solutions searches are not idempotent.
It worked for me - the whois for “gofuckdaddy.com” says it now is available - from Network Solutions. A check with my usual registrar (gandi.net) which says: The domain name gofuckdaddy.com exists, and is registered with another Provider.
Hm… for some reason all your current post appear as new when ever I check your feed (with NetNewsWire). While wondering I also found that some characters are not OK. But I’d assume that’s not related.

Maybe worth fixing.

Torsten: Thanks for the heads up for both issues. Feed validation fixed. The repetitive post may be due to me having edited it recently. How many times has this happened?
