Okay -- going from .org to .com

[jducoeur]

Sadly, tons of URLs are now dead, but at least the transition isn't *too* hard. I've now set up http://jducoeur.com/ to point to The Site Formerly Known as jducoeur.org. All URLs should work, just change the TLD.

(And yes, the .com is registered with all my other domains, so I can't lose track of it like this...)

I take it there's no authority to deal with hijacking problems? - or at least not one that's cheap enough to be worth using?

None that I'm aware of. As so often on the Internet, it's a bit of the wild west -- if you screw up, there's often no recourse.

(The only hope is that the domain *may* be in a recoverable limbo state -- the registry information is still mostly mine, which surprises me. But I'm not holding my breath...)
