Brian Reynolds and Brian Reynolds
registering domain names

Image by Brian Reynolds
One of the highlights of E3 2003 for me was the chance to meet Brian Reynolds, one of the acknowledged giants of the videogame industry, who happens to have the same name as I do.

When I saw him at first he was engaged in a discussion with somebody and another person from the Big Huge Games group came over to ask if I had any questions about Rise of Nations, the game they were promoting. I said no, but that I was very interested in saying hello to Mr. Reynolds, and then gestured to my nametag. The fellow looked at the tag and smiled in recognition and when an opening appeared he motioned me over saying "Brian Reynolds, this is Brian Reynolds."

We had a fun little conversation where he remarked that he knew that there was another Brian Reynolds in the industry and how there was some English furniture company who had registered the domain name BrianReynolds.com. Tracy took the photo and I thanked him for his time and we moved on to the next exhibit.

It’s interesting when I post to various videogame message boards because there’s always a good chance that someone will make the mistake in thinking that I’m the famous Brian Reynolds.

Thanks to his fame however one videogame publication determined an amusing anagram for his (my) name: Bony Lard Resin.

A blast from the past!

Spotted this old sign down a side street in Valletta (the capital city of Malta)

The famous trademark image comes from a painting by English artist Francis Barraud, A.R.A. and titled His Master’s Voice. The original title of the painting was "His Late Master’s Voice" (and this phrase appears on many of the original RCA Victor labels), but the concept was considered too depressing for most of the public’s tastes, and certainly for an image used as a means to put the consumer in the mood to buy. It was acquired from the artist in 1899 by the newly-formed Gramophone Company. According to contemporary Gramophone Company publicity material, the dog, a fox terrier called Nipper, had originally belonged to Barraud’s brother Mark. When Mark Barraud died, Francis inherited Nipper, along with a cylinder phonograph and a number of recordings of Mark’s voice. Francis noted the peculiar interest that the dog took in the recorded voice of his late master emanating from the trumpet, and conceived the idea of committing the scene to canvas.

In early 1899 , Francis Barraud applied for copyright of the original painting using the descriptive working title Dog looking at and listening to a Phonograph. He was unable to sell the work to any cylinder phonograph company, but The Gramophone Company purchased it later that year, under the condition that Barraud modify it to show one of their disc machines. The image was first used on the company’s publicity material in 1900 , and additional copies were subsequently commissioned from the artist for various corporate purposes.

Later, at the request of the gramophone’s inventor Emile Berliner, the American rights to the picture became owned by the Victor Talking Machine Company. Victor used the image more aggressively than its UK partner, and from 1902 on all Victor records had a simplified drawing of the dog and gramophone from Barraud’s painting on their label. Magazine advertisements urged record buyers to "Look for the dog".

In Commonwealth countries, the Gramophone Company did not use this design on its record labels until 1909 . The following year the Gramophone Company replaced the Recording Angel trademark in the upper half of the record labels by the famous picture painted by Frances Barraud, commonly referred to as Nipper or The Dog.

The company was never formally called "HMV" or His Master’s Voice, but was identified by that term because of its use of the trademark. Records issued by the Company before February 1908 were generally referred to as "G&Ts", while those after that date are usually called "HMV" records.

This image continued to be used as a trademark by Victor in the USA, Canada and Latin America, and then by Victor’s successor RCA. In Commonwealth countries (except Canada) it was used by subsidiaries of the Gramophone Company, which ultimately became part of EMI.

The trademark’s ownership is divided among different companies in different countries, reducing its value in the globalised music market. The name HMV is used by a chain of music shops owned by HMV Group plc, mainly in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, and Japan.

In 1921 the Gramophone Company opened the first HMV shop in London. In 1929 RCA bought Victor, and with it a major shareholding in the Gramophone Company which Victor had owned since 1920.

In 1931 RCA was instrumental in the creation of EMI, which continued to own the "His Master’s Voice" name and image in the UK. In 1935 RCA sold its stake in EMI but continued to own Victor and the rights to His Master’s Voice in the Americas.

World War II fragmented the ownership of the name still further, as RCA Victor’s Japanese subsidiary The Victor Company of Japan (JVC) became independent, and today they still use the "Victor" brand and Nipper in Japan only. Nipper continued to appear on RCA Victor records in America while EMI owned the His Master’s Voice label in the UK until the 1980s, and the HMV shops until 1998.

The globalised market for CDs pushed EMI into abandoning the HMV label in favour of "EMI Classics", a name they could use worldwide; however, it was revived in the 1990s for Morrissey recordings. The HMV trademark is now owned by the retail chain in the UK. The formal trade mark transfer from EMI took place in 2003.

Meanwhile, RCA went into a financial decline. The dog and gramophone image, along with the RCA name, is now licensed by RCA Records and RCA Victor owner Sony BMG Music Entertainment from Thomson SA, which operates RCA’s consumer electronics business (still promoted by Nipper the dog) that it bought from General Electric in 1986, after GE bought RCA. The image of "His Master’s Voice" now exists in the United States as a trademark only on radios and radios combined with phonographs, a trademark owned by Thomson subsidiary RCA Trademark Management SA.

With that exception, the "His Master’s Voice" dog and gramophone image is in the public domain in the USA, its United States trademark registrations having expired in 1989 (Sound recordings and phonograph cabinets), 1992 (television sets, television-radio combination sets), and 1994 (sound recording and reproducing machines, needles, and records).

007 – You Get What You Pay For

"Your account is locked," said the support person in the chat window. I already knew that, the screen I was looking at clearly displayed this. "You need to unlock it," he said.

I need to unlock it? "Uh, OK, how do I do that?" I asked.

"Just check it," he said.

I’m guessing that he was looking at an entirely different screen than I was.

"My account status reads ‘locked’ but I don’t see a checkbox or anything clickable around there," I said.

After a pause, he said, "Ok hold on while I fix it for you."

I felt a mixture of joy and rage.

It all started a few days ago, when, upon clicking on the link in my “new account” email to get to the control panel for my new domain, I was greeted unceremoniously by a bunch of errors and a message saying “Authentication Failed.”

Awesome.

Certainly, I expect computer systems to fail, tis the nature of the beast, but I would have at least thought that the link in the automatically generated introductory email would do what it was supposed to. If there was a problem, I would have expected a far nicer error page (that is to say, any error page at all) with a support contact instead of the gobbledy-gook I was presented with.

I took a deep breath and thought that perhaps my assumption of even a basic level of professionalism was unreasonable and it was I who needed to lower my bar.

And so, after I fiddled with the URL, got a login screen, was fooled by a green “Update Successful,” message (when nothing actually changed), I called their support line. I navigated their seemingly endless phone tree, only to hear at the end "We’re currently migrating our phone system, please try again later."

That’s just… I mean, I’m sure there are words for that, but I couldn’t think of any because I was having an apoplectic seizure.

To all the domain registrars and hosting providers out there, just thought I’d clue you in. Usually, setting up web hosting goes something like this: 1) I give you money 2) you give me a bunch of info on how to access stuff 3) stuff works.

It was months ago that I registered this domain, and when I did, I just intended to park it, so I tried to save a few bucks and went with a very cheap looking registrar with an equally cheap sounding name: domainsarefree.com.

They got the first step right, but then fumbled on steps two and three.

I was surprised by how responsive their support chat was.

"Ok, it’s fixed. Is there anything else I can help you with today," he asked.

I reminded myself to practice compassion.

"No, that’s it. Thank you very much," I said, "Have a great day."

seldom logical

Got in on the first 10K offers for google appengine and have been offline and busy for the last couple of days. Working on my latest version of Nextgen.

So isn’t your code now coupled to google? Won’t they own you? Well no on both counts. Firstly the code is pretty much pure Webpy. I’m using the Datastore API. Not much code to port to another db. I own a domain name so I really can move the domain name elsewhere. So for the cost of a domain name (at the moment) I’ve got my engine up and running … well almost. I be releasing pretty soon.

The cost of scalable hosting just got a lot cheaper all of a sudden.
