A very happy Nick, smiling from the cockpit of a Spitfire that he flew earlier this year from Biggin Hill, UK.

Thanks @GoDaddy for moving me to a new server, but not bothering to update the DNS so my site goes down! Also, now none of the MySQL accounts used by web pages autheticate. This has to rate 0/10 for customer service. Shame on you.

Some statistics to start the year: During 2021 Bitcoin consumed 134 TWh in total, which is comparable to the electrical energy consumed by a country like Argentina. Related CO2 emissions were ~64 Mt; enough to negate the entire global net savings from deploying EVs.

It appears @ATT does not care about fraud. I've found s'one used my details to signup for an acct. I tried to report. I finally got a # for their fraud dept who are 'so busy' they can't speak to anyone or take a msg. I finally got a report in. They will update me in 5 days!

UPDATE: I'll roll most of this back. AT&T just contacted me (just four hours), investigated, found the application was totally bogus, will be issuing credits, and contacting the credit agencies to let them know it's not my fault. Thank you Twitter for being a catalyst.
