This is the live

After 7 years today is the day that Aaron Peirsol Online.com will shut down.

I'll keep the news blog open but that will be it. I think it was a sign that the new company owning now owning the one I signed the domain with sort of didn't react at all when I tried to get a new account to renew the domain. Hope they don't treat all of the new clients like this. I should be sadder about it I think but I have sort of lost the big enthusiasm about it all. I still love swimming, I still love to watch and to know what Aaron is doing, I just don't need to have the site anymore.
I am a little sad though, seeing how many contacts I made through that site, where the site is listed and what kind of people actually still talk to me.
But Aaron has his own official site now and I think thart's one of the reasons why I am not trying to keep mine, I don't feel like something is left unsolved.. or whatever.

Seven years is a long time though and Aaron is still active.
But I have been thinking about it for a while now and I think I have come to terms with giving it up.

I feel like a huge part of my life is ending but surprisingly enough, right now I don't miss it all that much (I guess I'll miss all the lovely emails from NBC and Arena, and that is not meant in a sarcastic way, because those companies sort of know how to be fanfriendly).

It was fun while it lasted though and I don't regret a single thing.

ETA:
It also figures that now The Race Club has decided to follow me on Twitter and that Ed is back tweeting as well.
*g*
I feeling very melancholic right now.


ETA 2:
Geoff sure as hell seemed to be fascinated by the pool in Berlin. And by Mike ( judging from the pictures he took ). And Berlin was the only World Cup meet he actually posted picture from.
Nice Skippy. :)

Dear Eurosport
I wanted to see Swimming and not Tennis! Couldn't you have at least changed your online TV schedule accordingly?
And it would be nice to actually show Livestreaming if you are offering it. I can't really see anything on a black screen.
How am I supposed to tape stuff if you are not showing it?

I hope you won't do that to me when Larsen swims on Sunday.

Not amused and rather annoyed
Me

At least I now could see Duje break the WR and Mark being hot all over again and Ryan wearing the wrong cap plus swimming a WR!!!!!
Caps later.
I feel like spamming again.

I actually figured out what's wrong with my site's gallery, I have just no clue how to fix it.
*sighs* I don't know what it is missing though and why now because all the other galleries are working, just not the new one.
Oh well people can at least see the thumbnails.. It's a tease though.

LONDON!!!
Hehe, I am excited and happy and all that.
London and Steve.

Besides that I am all excited that I am close to my 9.000 word mark with the Big Bang story.

So I got a mail from Netrillium telling me that my credit card was processed with errors and that I still have an invoice due.
My problem si that I don't know where the error is. I can't imagine that they cut my credit card since it is still valid until November. I mean they would have told me right? It would suck otherwise because I need the card.
So now I don't know if I should pay the invoice again, or enter my credit card number again. I sumbitted a ticket and wrote a mail, but they said it could be up to 12-24 hours before they reply. I don't want my account to be deactivated.
I'd lose APO now.
Which would suck because I wouldn't know where else to put it if my credit card really should be invalid now. And well I wouldn't have a card either then.

All I can do now is wait and maybe check in with my bank tomorrow and see what's up.

Meeep.. :(
I am not happy. Not really close to panic but not happy, since I have no idea what's actually wrong.
