BTW, this is why frequent readers of my (other, longer) sig will have noticed that I use "plus links" -- such as http://kynn.com/+koosh (warning: picture content, no text description) -- when I am giving out link references in my signature file. These addresses don't correspond to filenames on the kynn.com server at all, but rather are server-level redirects that send people on to another destination. The +koosh URI, for example, redirects to one of my favorite pictures from the Virtual Dog Show. http://kynn.com/+myths is another example, and one that's more text friendly. The .htaccess configuration file for kynn.com contains redirect statements that produce HTTP redirect responses, and your browser will automatically take you to the right location. http://kynn.com/+edaptamap is a map and directions from Idyll Mountain Internet's office to Edapta HQ in San Diego. The actual URI for that page is: http://www.mapblast.com/myblast/dPrint.mb?CMD=MPATH&IC_1=33.871963%3A-117.923935%3A8%3A110+E+Wilshire+Ave&AD2_street_1=110+E.+Wilshire+Avenue&AD2_1=110+E.+Wilshire+Avenue&AD3_1=Fullerton%2C+CA&AD4_1=US&CT_1=33.871963%3A-117.923935%3A10000&IC_2=32.716952%3A-117.159348%3A8%3ASan+Diego%2C+CA&AD2_street_2=5752+Oberlin+Drive&AD2_2=5752+Oberlin+Drive&AD3_2=San+Diego&AD4_2=US&CT_2=32.716952%3A-117.159348%3A328000&GMI_2=1&formnum=2&IC=33.871963%3A-117.923935%3A8%3A110+E+Wilshire+Ave%3A32.716952%3A-117.159348%3A8%3ASan+Diego%2C+CA&LIP=ppt%7CFAST%3ASEG%3A%3AST%3A%3A%7C33.871963%3A-117.923935%3A110_E_Wilshire_Ave%3A1%7C32.716952%3A-117.159348%3ASan_Diego%2C_CA%3A1%7C2%7Cen_us&CT=33.294718%3A-117.538735%3A1826888&GAD2_1=110+E+Wilshire+Ave&GAD3_1=Fullerton%2C+CA++92832-1900&GAD3_2=San+Diego%2C+CA&PDT=ST&PDU=MI&LL=en%3Aus&fsz=3&color.x=84&color.y=128 Which would -you- rather write on a napkin? :) -- -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/
