Anyone else had problems registering?

.biz Open For Biz

So, since I know how great for business a new.biz domain name will be for me, </sarcasm> I went and tried to register around 12:01 11/07. No such luck. Here's what happened to me:
First, tried with dotster.com, my registrar of choice; they cater to the sysadmin type, and are usually pretty good. When I tried to start registration there, it did lookups as oof.biz.biz instead of oof.biz. That was a failure.
On to the next try: I hate them with all my heart, but I hoped that they would at least work, since they are the big behemoth. I went to NSI. . They led me through the whole process (credit card verification and all), and then they said "there is an error in your order" and couldn't fufill it. Same with other.biz attempts. grr.
Then, on to register.com. It worked there, but now there's nothing in neulevel's whois entries.
WTF?
Anyone else have similar experiences? Anyone have any suggestions on how to verify that I actually have the domain? Or what to do if I don't?
Before Apple decreed that there be no more easter eggs, there were some great ones inserted into the (doomed) Newton MessagePad, including a secret poker game! Check 'em out at http://www.oof.org/newton/
