Oooookay..

A webdesigner in town screwed up one of our client's MX records. (As in, they no longer exist.)
I really have to wonder, however, how this webdesigner got the job. Would you take them seriously with this as their homepage?

(As an edit I thought I should notate that this website is SFW. Nothing pornographic, I promise. Unless he changes it sometime after I post this. Who knows.)

So not what I was expecting. But, it was of equal fail as to what I was expecting.

Classy!

I'm not accusing you of lying or anything, but how do you know he made that site? Did he tell you about it himself? Just doesn't seem obvious from the website who made it (except possibly the domain whois, but I have no idea if that's the same guy).

Is it just me ... what is a web designer doing with access to the companies zone file anyway?

Zone file creation is not the first thing I think of when I hear "web-designer."

He hosts their website. I'm guessing he registered the domain for them as well as he has himself set up as their name server.

[polarbee.livejournal.com]

www.zooknet.com is the name server when I pull up their mx records. And we know his name (last name includes 'zook' in it) as the company told us he's their website designer and host.

[kalidor.livejournal.com]

yeah

I find those place scarey. I suspect they don't even own their own domain. He does.

[polarbee.livejournal.com]

Almost certainly.
I'm definitely not thrilled with the name server issue.

[glitteringlynx.livejournal.com]

Ah, gotcha. :) Thanks!

...how familiar...

A friend of mine, olegvolk, is in the process of trying to recover two ... no, wait, now maybe just one of his websites from a crooked host/admin.

Hi, surprise (or should I say I shouldn't be surprised!) to see you over here ^^;

That website linked kills the IE7 installation here at work stone dead. One way to bring in customers: Make your front page terminate your browsing session.

Excellent. No need to send them to crashie.com then.

That said ... not sure about being answered with that icon. Hope this doesn't turn into a Harrasment of Kyon thing (j/k).
