How kind, I thought, then I thought again. Apart from jakartass.net and, I think, jakartass.co.uk, I've also registered Jakartass on a number of free blogging platforms such as WordPress and Multiply, so I don't really need a dot com.
If anyone else wants it, they'll have a hard time doing anything with it because I am the one and only Jakartass and have been for five and a half years and nigh on 1,500 posts. You wouldn't be able to make any money out of it either.
However, I love this sales pitch: This domain has been flagged as a premium domain and we expect it to sell quickly.
I somehow doubt that, but if anyone cares to give me an early birthday present .......
Blogroll News
Once again I've amended my links, but not merely because they link here ~ only one does.
Naz lives in Vestlandet, Norway, is married, as far as I can tell, to a Scottish expat and is an "incurable juggler who crosses the street to walk in the sunshine". Her writing reflects this. As far as I can tell, she's Malaysian, but as I might be wrong I've included her blog in my Indonesian expat list.
I dropped Yosef Ardi some time ago when he sought to monetise his blog. Thankfully for my wallet, he's back, not charging a fee and continuing to chronicle business deals and, of much more interest to me, shady shenanigans.
I've also re-added Inspector Sands to my Charlton Athletic list. I've no idea why or when I dropped his match reports, but now that we are doing well, it's only fair to share the joy.
And a thank you
Hi Jakartass
I wanted to thank you for all of your help this past year spreading the word about The Fresh Air Fund. We had nearly 8,000 children enjoying their best summers yet. All of the wonderful folks who blogged, posted banners, tweeted, and joined our Facebook Page and Cause have just been amazing. We put together a video montage of images from the summer and some other fun stuff here to thank you.
