I can do that. But only if PG agrees, no problem from my end. y.ww ctrl-enter that'd be funny :)

http://ww.com/y gives what looks like a directory listing here. Possibly a security flaw?

tempfile, thanks for the heads up. removed it.

nothing malign, just think its a neat, clever url. I'd probably use it as a shortener for a couple of my blogs, but if it doesn't sit well with you, can I have jed.ww.com?

jed is cool. And I agree it's clever ;)

great! thank you

Yes, that's cool, you've got it.

Oh shoot, I just deleted my comment because I went back and saw that it looks like aph.ww.com isn't redirecting to the home page and I didn't want to bother you if it did.

If it's available, then, I'd appreciate the aph.ww.com -> aph.erikd.org

Thanks! :)

Thanks for doing this!

track.ww.com -> www.track.com

Mostly to mess with my non-techy friends...would be particularly funny if you added google.ww.com -> Google and facebook.ww.com -> Facebook to support the lie. "Oh, it doesn't work for your site? Well, it only works for really important websites..."

It's ok, lots of people forget to check so I check them anyway, and if the user that used that page hasn't used it in a bunch of years then I'm cool with it.

Don't forget that the first users signed up in '98 and they're long gone, most of the first names were nice & short so there is a good chance they're not actually in use.

I will still have to go through the logs to see if these don't have backlinks pointing to them, but I assume that isn't the case.
