via blech, thanks. Ever since I got the Dell, I’ve been fighting the guilt of leaving the Apple fold. It’s nice to know someone else has done so too.

tinyurl considered harmful

04 June 2006 in links
tagged with [internet] (edit)

ignoring the annoying use of the ‘considered harmful’, this is a good reason, from a reasonable source, to avoid the use of TinyURL (or equivalent) URLs in long-term archived material. For short-term stuff, of course, it’s fine.
