My name is Duncan Goodall, I'm a full-time professional .NET developer and Solution Architect based in West Sussex, UK.

I specialise in front/back-end web sites, web services, windows applications and connected systems.

Follow my musings about Microsoft.NET, MOSS & SharePoint, AJAX, Silverlight, WCF, Me, my family and other things that I find important or interesting.

AOL UK block snipurl.com and snipr.com :-(

I was following MikeO's tweet annoucement and went to follow his link (http://snipurl.com/5a5h6) .. it was then I realised that my ISP would not resolve the snipurl domain, how annoying!

I checked it with a proxy website (babelfish) and yeah sure enough the site was up, but not accessible through my connection.  I think it may just be a mistake with the DNS settings, but I will have to wait until tomorrow to find out as apparently it takes AOL technical team 24 hours to reply to my ticket!

In the meantime, I told Mike Ormond about this and he changed his powershell script to use tinyurl.com instead, he did not realise that the API was available and apparently is a more simplified model!   anyhoo, great news for me as I'm now working :-)  thanks Mike!
