    Wilmot's Warehouse

    Not only does it look like a really fun game, but the trailer is excellent too. It shows a person playing the game, instead of telling about features, very nice!

    .com domain price increase

    I recently switched my domains to porkbun, and they let me know that next month, the price of a .com domain will increase and they expect it to increase for the next several years.

    Aparently, you can pay up front for up to 10 years for a .com domain, saving you from the price increase for a while.

    I just did this and up until 2023 I don’t have to worry about pricing changes.
