Good Morning!

Morning!

Good morning. TIL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ck. Something for rayfu?

slipset07:05:48

Problem seems to be that the .ck TLD is not available on its own.

simongray07:05:07

.http://co.ck is funny by itself…. http://big.co.ck is available for only €202, so I guess they’re a bit hesitant when it comes to handling out funny domains as a joke. Pretty sure that one would have been taken within 5 minutes.

Reminds me of a discussion in a Swedish coders group on Facebook where someone asked for strategy ideas in auto-filtering away “bad” user names. My input was just, “Don’t bother, where there’s a will there’s a way”.

thomas08:05:00

morning, yeah... no point in filtering 'bad' user names... I agree

javahippie08:05:27

Autofiltering usernames can even be harmful, there were more than one instance were people with “non-english” usernames were discriminated by name filters

not to mention the Scunthorpe problem

pez10:05:58

Safe to google Scunthorpe?

Ed10:05:17

It's a town in the north of England

dharrigan10:05:41

it has an unfortunate naming problem, I think facebook(?) took exception to the naming

dharrigan10:05:22

Indeed, it has an entire section devoted to it:

javahippie11:05:46

The french village “Bitche” also had its community page banned by Facebook

pez11:05:03

TIL. Thanks!

djptek13:05:36

context is everything

otfrom13:05:04

Cockburn Cockfosters

otfrom14:05:26

the only name I am reasonably sure is an oooold penis joke is Shakespeare, which is appropriate given the number he tells in his plays and poems (which is a lot)

otfrom15:05:22

(happy to delete the above if Shakespeare is NSFW)

Good morning! Turned out Saturday’s recording of my :clojureD presentation was a bit crappy. I was in the wrong mood. But I fixed that yesterday and am now uploading the result. It was super fun preparing and presenting, but now I will enjoy not being in prepare-a-presentation mode for a while. 😃
