Following my theme of silliness, 2L is a programming language with only two operators. And since these operators act on a virtual data store without accepting any operands, it only allows three characters (the two operators and space).
You could argue it has five operators since the first one is overloaded four times…
Ever heard of Internationalised Domain Names? They allow you to register domains with non-Latin characters (i.e. Unicode). They actually do a bit of cheating but I’ll let you find that out. In the meantime check out these interesting addresses showing that just using Chinese or Arabic characters is not the limit IDNs.
Quick warning, they don’t work in IE without a plugin and to see them in their true glory you need Opera…
I have content from various ad companies on my site that I get paid for. It’s not much but it can add up and at least pays for the hosting. I realised I was owed some money from one of them that I hadn’t logged into for ages. So I logged in, checked my details were correct, set payment to “PayPal” and left. Unfortunately I changed it over too late. They sent my first payment as a cheque. As I said it isn’t that much; yesterday I received a cheque for $4.33. I’m not even sure I can deposit that in my account - whenever I’ve done it before with foreign cheques there is quite a large charge (larger than $4.33).
Silly company.
I’ve decided to run a silly little competition in an attempt to get people looking around the site more. The traffic I’ll be getting is probably going to be of a pretty low quality but if you sling enough mud, some must stick.
So check it out and you might just win $10.
