After some year with Register.com has my domain name registrar, I've decided to transfer my domain to another registrar. The domain been transfer already had expired so I though the process would run smoothly.
How I was wrong.
While talking with Register.com live chat thy inform me that I would have first to pay the renew of the domain and only then could I transfer the domain.
"WHAT?!?!? I have to pay for a service I no longer want???"
"You need to renew the domain name first and then transfer the domain name to another Registrar."
What the hell!!!!!!
ICANN clearly states that:
"My domain name has just expired. Can my registrar require me to pay for a renewal before I can transfer to a new registrar?
No. Your new registrar of choice can initiate a transfer request on
an expired domain name once they receive the required authorization
from you. Expiration or nonrenewal of a domain name is not a valid
reason for denial of a transfer request.
Note that if the registrar has already begun the deletion process
on the domain name and its status shows it to be within a 30-day
Redemption Grace Period, the name must be .restored. by your current
registrar before it can be transferred."
I then asked what would happen if I just let the domain to expire. They then told me that they couldn't tell me how long would the domain be available to register again.
So after much talk they left me with no choice to renew the domain. But I'm still transferring it to another registrar.
What's funny about this is that they had the nerd to tell me that "We are committed to customer service and we will do everything possible for the satisfaction of our customers." ....Hummm..."everything possible for the satisfaction of our customers"...DON'T THINK SO!!!!!
I've got other domains with Register.com that haven't yet expired...I'll be transferring them also...this isn't a company I will work any time soon.

For all of you who don't know, OutSystems Platform "enables enterprises to easily build, change and operate applications that integrate existing systems to reach new users. By combining the productivity offered by visual modeling tools with the level of extensibility and customization found in integration suites or custom development frameworks, the OutSystems Platform is helping businesses to deliver their applications in weeks, instead of months or years."
I've completed the first stage of the certification with the completion of the Level 1 and 2 skills tests. These are online tests, and the best of all, they are free. Just log on in the OutSystems community, download the free edition and complete the tests.
If all goes well, I will soon start the next levels of certification, but from now on, these are not online.

With the asp.net 2.0 a new set of application folder appeared. You now have a folder for your database (app_data), a folder for your themes (app_theme) and even a folder for your code (app_code).
But what about the Master Pages? Aren't they so important as the Themes? Why isn't there an App_MasterPages folder?
A master page is part of our web development and a folder for them would help in the organization. And like the app_data as the |DataDirectory|, a keyword could be made available in the web.config.
I've opened a suggestion in the Connect site, so if like me you think this is a good idea, please vote.
What do you think?
