Anyone who owns a few domain names has probably seen some type of mail from DROA. They like to send out an official looking letter that says your domain is about to expire and that for $30 they take over your domain name (the one you paid $10 for) and manage it for you. Many of my clients who I have registered their domain names have fallen for this letter and paid the company for their domain. Since I lock all my domains to transfers, I start getting emails saying that in order for the transfer to take place I need to unlock them. I then contact the domain owner and inform them that this company is sleazy at best and to never fall for these letters. Why pay a company 3 times the normal amount to manage a domain? Please beware of this company and their shady business practices. Always contact the guy that bought the domain for you or at least someone that is knowledgeable enough to look into your domain and tell you your options.

Welcome to my blog. I’m starting this blog as a general area to state what I’m currently working on and write some general information about my hobbies and interests as well as my views on certain issues. If you find these posts interesting, please let me know and include a link to your blog (if you have one) and I’ll link to yours.

I work as a web developer in Colorado Springs, Colorado and am in the process of building up my own business doing web design and development among other tasks. My business, McClintic Designs, has been in operation since I left Indiana University in 1997. Most of my business has been word-of-mouth and has been steadily increasing over the past few years.

Currenty, I’m working for Zoobody LLC on their website Zoobody.com which I co-wrote with a friend of mine, Jeff Walker, along with a few other developers. It’s an interesting site and if you have the desire to become an actor, definitely check them and out and create an account.

In the coming months, I’ll be adding information to this blog about the projects I’m working concerning art, web sites, development, and reviewing some of my favorite electronics, so stay tuned…
