Charles on… anything that comes along

How sweet - my piece about WinFS and its Cairo origins is on Slashdot. (Among the comments is a pointer t0 a similar, but arguably better - and certainly more acid - article at Linuxworld on the whole Microsoft Cairo/WinFS/Longhorn stuff. Had I seen it, I would have cribbed it shamelessly..

Now, this will sound nitpicky (it is nitpicky, in fact) but what is the “independant.co.uk” of which the Slashdot poster speaks? If you try to email me there, you’ll get a bounce.

Or maybe not. When I tried the URL, it exists - and says firmly “http://www.independant.co.uk is not available. Please check again soon.“. Move along, nothing to see…

Apparently it’s registered to Karen Hanton of Warwick Square Mews, London, who registered it in 1999. Hello, Karen! How’s it going with the mipselling domians?
