W5NU -- Continued from QRZ.com

Here is a more in-depth, candid discussion of the poor old man behind the scenes, including some social, economic, political, and geopolitical comment. My main QRZ page seemed not the place for it. For example, after acquiring the station and antenna farm of which I had always dreamed, why did I dispose of it? That was a back story for another venue. And the political? That would not fit. Hence, this continuation.

About this site's domain name, lazytune. Domain names have ownership and are for sale for amounts sometimes in the thousands of dollars. Not for me. I casually learned from a young woman who visits her mother here at the nursing home that she has a website. She is a free-spirited gal who sells peaches alongside the road. I asked her, "How did you get your domain?" And, "Where is your server?" She explained she had gotten both from porkbun.com. I wanted to be sure I had heard correctly. "What was that again?" I asked. "I'll write it down for you," she said, adding, "It's not expensive."

Porkbun? What could go wrong? Creating an account went smoothly. I needed a domain name. Determined to not haggle with domain brokers, why not a simple, silly name not likely taken? The name did't matter. So I concatenated the first silly verb-noun pair that came to mind: lazy and tune.
