When the system fails - a tale of lovehatetragedy etc

So I got a new domain name for a project we are doing and used godaddy to sign up for it. They took my money with ease and it is there on whois. Time to setup the nameservers for the site, which will be hosted on www.eightyoptions.com.au (shameless plug ;)). Failure to set it. Page cannot be found, huh? System is broken. Logged in and out, no dice.

So here I am using Opera under Windows having issues to change this last tiny detail. Guess Opera hate ASP as much as I do. Call up support and get talking with a Yankee and he tells me to try IE7 (not 8, it is too broken). So I try it, click on the page and wallah. It actually works to my amazement. Set the details and log back in using Opera and what do you know, it works... I smell a helpdesk quick fix on the account issue after he dodged my question of why it would not redirect. That and the ads are insane. So here we are, waiting for the nameserver to update and to see my new creation spring to life. That is what Ukko was about, but more details in due course. Now its time for L4D. 

Just had another look, the domain dashboard is gone which did lead to the error page and the problem, I knew it was something fishy :)
