A funny thing happens when you close a domain name that was fairly popular: it gets swooped up by somebody ready to capitalize on your page rank and turned into this placeholding, ad-based, mockery of a website.

Such is the case with my old blog, See The Donkey, which I visited the other day just to see if anything is being done with the domain. I won’t link to it here, as I don’t want to appear in any referring logs, but following this link will get you one step closer.

Just before I shut that site down I was getting months where I was getting over 26 000 visits. I wish I could say it had anything at all to do with my sparkling wit and dazzling prose, but alas, no. As evidenced by the current contant at the domain, those hits were purely the result of the TV Theme Song archive I hosted, separate from my blog.

I bring this up only because I think it really funny that a domain name I came up with, that had no other real meaning other than the one I ascribed, now is an advertisement site for a search portal, specializing in TV Theme Songs.

Their slogan is “What you need, when you need it.”

Funny. I don’t see the donkey in that at all.
