Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

YAY MSBELLE'S JOB!

YAY SCRAPPY'S PUPPY!

Question for people who are into the internet, professionally: If I'm giving out URLs on paper, is it better to have a logical address or a shorter address? Example: qwerty.org/project/topic-name-in-words OR q.org/1r6yf

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'd go for logical address, since it tells people where they're going. If you're in charge of the URLs, you can make the logical name short and descriptive.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Jesse, what about a QR code?

But I would go logical address as long as it's not all cluttered up with coding.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Also,

PUPPY!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From the Blogess:

Then I bought a taxidermied duckling (that died of natural causes) and Victor was all “What the fuck are you going to do with a taxidermied duck?” and I was all “What wouldn’t I do with a taxidermied duck?” It’s like he’s never even met me.

Hee!

Jesse, human-readable URL -- shortened ones are extremely prone to typos, even when they're being given out on computers rather than paper. And something clear and descriptive is not only more memorable, but helps with the whole trust/I know what I'm getting thing.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

That's fantastic, msbelle! Congratulations!

Scrappy!Puppy. Awwww, Chet sounds like a love. I'm so happy for you and J.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When designing the URL, Jesse, check and see if your web server is case-sensitive, and if it is, don't fuck around with too much capitalisation.
