gleuschk : cabel.name: Japan: URL's Are Totally Out - I noticed the same thing. Also, there are 30-sec English lessons on screens in the subway cars!

plasticbag : My article from a few years ago on developing a URL structure for broadcast radio sites... - Radio 3 was supposed to be the model for a reinvigoration and restructuring of the whole URL space and programme represenation at the BBC, but I hear it got rather screwed up by the iPlayer and similar follies...

plasticbag : Interesting post on URLs over on jerakeen.org, which I think misses the point a bit - It's easier if you think of URLs in two types - either referring to a specific first order data object (in which case it doesn't need much nesting) and then lists, where the cuts and stuff make much more sense.

Linkorama : ElfURL - Basically I suggested that it would be helpful to have a tool to make long URLs shorter, while at the same time providing a way to apply delicious tags, while at the same time adding statistics on the number of times the URL was accessed, and while having

plasticbag : RFC 2838 (rfc2838) - Uniform Resource Identifiers for Television Broadcasts - I should be gripped by this, but it's so banally broadcast-oriented that it's stunning to think that internet people even wrote it. Doesn't even have identifiers for episodes or shows...

plasticbag : Every programme page on Radio 3 created by the system I worked on... - So basically this is me playing with the 'inurl:' string that I noticed on the webcam URL. Not noticed it before, and lets us do all kinds of neat stuff...
