As an Arsenal supporter, I'd say there might be interest out there for Feverpitch, after Nick Hornby's book and the films.

Cheers! I had nothing specific in mind with it, as with the others, but I was surprised in each case that they were available so thought I'd snap them up and see what happens.
 
Just out of interest, people talking about going early, was it just luck, or was there method to working out how early to go? Is there a way of seeing the actual create time on these from the return response ? Not that it will affect anything now of course.

Here's an interesting couple of responses from my testing on from the testbed.

Cheers

not quite sure what to look at though, Theres the

2019-06-20 20:10:00.0185881 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

But thats the time the message is logged isnt it ? the "20:10:00.0185881" i ,mean.

Then theres :

<domain:crDate>2019-06-20T20:10:00</domain:crDate>

But that only gives to nearest second. Or am i being a daft ?
 
@dee
Heres what that testing told me.

2019-06-20 20:09:59.9707052 after reg write
If on an unloaded (probably only me using it) testbed server i send a batch of registration requests 30 ms before the minutes end.

The first reply I get back is at : 2019-06-20 20:10:00.0185881
and the domain shows
<domain:crDate>2019-06-20T20:10:00</domain:crDate>
<domain:exDate>2020-06-20T20:10:00</domain:exDate>

However the next reply I get back is at: 2019-06-20 20:10:00.0197344
and that domain shows
<domain:crDate>2019-06-20T20:10:00</domain:crDate>
<domain:exDate>2020-06-20T20:09:59</domain:exDate>

So what do I deduce from that,
1. on an unloaded testbed server it takes about 30ms to register a domain.
2. the creation time is defined near the end of that process.
3. The second response shows we were pretty damn close to the cut off between 9.59 and 10.00

Aaaaahhhh ... so two requests dealt with in pretty much 30ms dead.

I guess its server / location dependant as well. And.... whatever the clock difference is via NTP.

EDIT..... couldnt that mean that 2nd domain could have been created up to .5 secs later depending on round up/down to whole second?

Same results with just 1 request.

Not so much, the (2019-06-20 20:09:59.9707052 after reg write), is after the write request has completed. Yes transit times will change the result timing marginally but if you know your roundtrip time you can always filter that out.
NTP yes, but we know nominet sync to NTP so if we have sync too best we can do.

Considering the period from write to reply is only 0.031 secs long, and given the start time it actually shows they don't round up.

Thank you. Makes sense.... so much to learn

EDIT.. OF COURSE !! The response is to a batch, not one at a time.
 
I only ended up with two, but didn't go for many.. RealityTV.uk and RoyalFlush.uk . They're not single word domains of course, but in their own way I think they have a decent amount of potential.

I Like RoyalFlush.uk... I caught FullHouse.uk .....But a royal flush beats a full house :(

Unless we are playing Bingo :)

Don't worry, I'll sit this hand out :D. You can take on Flush.uk. Anything below that is.... bog standard *I'll get my coat*
 
Tell me about it. Today, I have inexplicably started building a .uk farm. I currently have a RedPanda.uk, a Sealion.uk and even a Bandicoot.uk. I've just now picked up a Mandrill.uk and a Moorhen.uk :D

I like RedPanda and Sealion a lot

I already have Seahorse, if id had seen Sealion it would have joined it lol could have put them in the BlueSea or SilverSea, to be watched over by Britannia :oops:
 
I have woodpeckers... I'm not most proud of it. I got buyahome today

Sounds like a good plan lol. I've not got much for them to eat though. Strangely, only a Mangosteen o_O
 

The Rule #1

Do not insult any other member. Be polite and do business. Thank you!
