[OT] interesting domains

[Nadav Har'El]

[just an amusing, off-topic, tidbit. feel free to ignore]

Today I accidentally stumbled across the ".SH" ccTLD. Just for fun I
decided to check, and what do you know,

	zee.sh
and
	zsh.sh

are free :)

So if anybody wants to blow some money on the government of Saint Helena (or
some company that runs it for them...), check out http://nic.sh/ (or some
reseller like register.com). But act quickly - bourne.sh, bash.sh, csh.sh,
ksh.sh and unix.sh are all already taken ;)

Ah, but (and I'm sure Peter would agree with me here) it's not "zee shell",
it's "zed shell".

(But this is an old argument...  Jim Mattson and I never did agree
a pronunciation when he was on this side of the atlantic (circa '93).
I wonder what he's doing these days...)

How sad are these people?!?

Bye for now,



Duncan.

Then you'll be happy to know - zed.sh is free too! :)
