Wow I can’t believe it is Thursday already – where the hell did the week go?
I saw the doctor earlier in the week and he gave me the all clear. I asked if I could go snowboarding for a week or so and he said that was fine. Whoohooo!!!! I’m back to 100% – a rather unpleasant 3 weeks of my life but all good now which is the most important part.
There has been one interesting development over the last couple of days – the Speedo Corporate isn’t happy about me using the first part of their name, the ‘Speedo’ part, not the Corporation part.
It is no big deal (I’m not sure how they can take me to court in Australia when the sites are owned and run offshore).
I do understand their point BUT my use of the word speedo is in a generic sense – how many photos on this site feature ‘Speedo’ brand speedos? Maybe 10%?
Anyways – I’ll talk about this a little more later.
Here is one of my all time favourite ‘Speedo’ brand photos….
Over the last 24/48hrs the evil speedo corporation has taken my AussieSpeedoGuy.com domain.
I spent 2 days last week emailing week updating links and old images and that seems to have worked – if you guys notice anything not quite 100% leave a comment for me.
It also looks like not too many visitors have been lost as well. I changed to the new domain AussieSpeedoGuy.org months ago which gave Google and the other search engines time to update and I tried to email all the guys who trade blog links with me. Again if there are any bloggers out there keen to trade links drop me an email (email link on the right there).
Good to see we’ve all made it through and we are still together…..
Over the last couple of months I’ve been fighting the evil Speedo Corporation over my domain name ‘AussieSpeedoGuy.com’.
They claimed it was infringing on their copyright….
My opinion is that the word speedo is a generic term and particularly used in the context of this blog this Aussie Speedo Guy could be wearing AussieBum’s, ADIDAS, Nike, Tyr or any other of the many speedo manufacturers.
Unforunately, I didn’t win but I didn’t expect to either – they stole the domain SpeedoBoyz.com off me a few years ago.
I’m madly emailing fellow bloggers who have me on their blogroll to changed to AussieSpeedoGuy.org.
If you have me in your favourites it might pay to change it to AussieSpeedoGuy.org as well – I’m not 100% sure of when exactly they’ll steal the domain but it is imminent.
