Posted on 06 April 2013 by Andrei

Did this last year as well and it was kind of fun, time to do it again.

I won’t write a novel about your portfolio, I’ll simply share my 2 cents and let you know:

4 GoDaddy Coupons

Posted on 05 April 2013 by Andrei

I have 4 GoDaddy coupons for you this week, I think each works for just one domain but at least one of them might work for up to 3. Can’t hurt to try.

One $1.99 coupon and three $2.95 coupons this time. They seem to be working worldwide, not just for customers from the US/Canada and for each, you’ll also pay the $0.18 ICANN fee.

I Don’t Quite Understand the “Bitcoin = Safe Haven” Argument

Posted on 04 April 2013 by Andrei

As a domainer, I’m reasonably good at spotting investment opportunities. And yes, Bitcoin is/was a great investment opportunity. Even someone like me who never used Bitcoins (I never touched Bitcoins because let’s face it, the day only has 24 hours and) can easily tell that as an investment opportunity, it performed marvelously.

But why people use this price development as an argument in favor of the fact that Bitcoin is a safe haven is beyond me to be honest.

“Who am I kidding? Submit bid. *Click*”

Sounds familiar?

Linux Mint

Posted on 02 April 2013 by Andrei

Since this is a domaining blog and not a blog about programming or things like that, I know most of you guys don’t want to have anything to do with Linux since it’s perceived as waaaaaay too complex and I understand that. Most people simply want an operating system that works out of the box, fair enough.

I (Almost) Never Pay Retail

Posted on 01 April 2013 by Andrei

With one exception: medical-related stuff… now there’s something you shouldn’t try to save a buck on in my opinion.

If I have to choose between two computers and one of them costs more but is 10% better, there’s no way I’m buying it. Paying double for a 10% performance increase? I don’t think so.

But if there’s a medical treatment that costs two times more but is 10% better, I’ll take it. No room for compromise when it comes to your health.
