…It should be renamed Confused Traveler. I’d been among the first ones to order an Ubuntu 7.04 CD via its free media ShipIt program. That was in April. When I didn’t get it by the end of May, that too when all my other friends had got it within one week of their request put in May, I was perplexed. So at the end of May, I put another request for it. Three weeks up, and yet, no sign of the CD. That too when everyone else was getting it within 1-2 weeks of their request. Frankly, I was irritated.
I finally got my CD yesterday, and you know what? Instead of sending it to New Delhi, India, they’d sent it to Jakarta, Indonesia! Here’s an image of the envelope for you all to see…
Update: I’m NOT kidding. JUST when I’d hit the publish button for this, the postman came and handed me the Ubuntu CDs I’d requested for in April!

@prashanth:
You can redirect traffic from your .wordpress.com address to your domain. In your dashboard, head over to Upgrades | Domains. However, your blog will be hosted on WordPress only, just that your domain name will be different. It is not the WordPress full version that you get to use.
@Prashanth: What Arjun said is exactly what I was gonna say. You can buy a domain, and then add it. You’ll be on WordPress only though, and if you want, you can buy more storage space / custom editing. However, what you could also do is to import your WordPress blog to full host, keep luminar.wordpress.com, and put up a notice pointing your new site name. I don’t think WordPress allows you to set up redirects. From my own experience, I’ve found that most of the links were changed pretty quick. I hardly get anything on by old BlogSpot URL these days.
