I’ve used .ME in the past, but then I settled on just using a .COM. The cost difference was negligible and nobody ever queries a .COM – I had people thinking my .ME was a mistake.
Unless you desperately want COMMONNAME.TLD, I’d go with the .COM for the lack of headaches. They’re ~$20 a year, which doesn’t seem like much money for the simplicity.
That’s an interesting minor but significant difference. I’m from the UK, and both of my house keys (Yale, Abloy) have a distinct ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ orientation. Every house key I’ve ever had has been like this. The keys for my desk drawer and filing cabinets too.
It’s an interesting question. I don’t know if there’s any evidence of wolf domestication by Neanderthals. If they didn’t domesticate them, it would be interesting to try to work out why – maybe there’s a subtle difference in psychology between H. Sapiens and H. Neanderthalensis that enabled us to bridge that gap but not them?
In a lot of cases (most?) even plain-text email is rendered in proportional fonts which don’t work for ASCII art.
The default for all mobile email clients, Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail is now to render plain-text in proportional. Those who get it monospaced have chosen to do that. It’s also made worse by Outlook’s insistence on removing ‘extra’ linebreaks by default. AFAIK, there’s no way to switch off that behaviour except email-by-email, and you can’t know if your recipient has it or not.
I still dabble in ASCII art a bit, mostly in HTML comments and email headers. It’s kind of a difficult art-form to practice now, given that monospaced text is relatively rare.
Here’s are my pets in ASCII, who go out in the headers of my emails:
I am totally stumped – how do you enable this on the Mac? I can’t find the option at all, and Google is no help.
