This is excellent.
abrahamvegh··on Show HN: rfc.me
This would be an excellent idea and I will absolutely throw this in a todo list.
abrahamvegh··on Show HN: rfc.me
It's not very useful.
abrahamvegh··on Show HN: rfc.me
This is the plan, but given it took me seven years to get this far, please don't hold your breath. :)

The back story here is that I purchased the domain in 2010, fully intending to have the same functionality back then, and each year since as I renewed it. So your sarcasm is absolutely warranted and welcome.

It did take all of 15 minutes fiddling with a mediocre RewriteRule to get the functionality I wanted.

Thanks, it is intended to be both amusing and not very useful!

Also, I don't think you could even bookmark the site if you wanted, as the redirects are issued as 308. :D

abrahamvegh··on Poll: Which webmail provider do you use?
I use a lot of Gmail, with one Yahoo Mail, but I use Gmail as more of a client for my server; all email is sent and received through my server.

Also, why aren't self-hosted options like Horde and Roundcube in this poll?

abrahamvegh··on Ask HN: How do you record your thoughts?
iPod touch for writing things down on the go, but text files or drawings on my laptop when I'm using it. Everything gets synced back from my iPod, so I always have my ideas in a searchable form on my laptop.
abrahamvegh··on Stop Password Masking
Somewhat valid points... but for the most part not.

And although I'll probably be shot down for this:

The iPhone OS's method of displaying the last masked character briefly before masking it is probably the best way to handle masking.

abrahamvegh··on Freemium - Shmeemium (or why micro-billing is better)
To a certain extent, yes, I did. Thanks.
abrahamvegh··on Poll: Which server monitoring tool do you use?
http://serverdensity.com/ is another interesting newcomer.
abrahamvegh··on Facebook Username Easter Egg?
This is just someone who has opted to keep their profile out of search listings.

If you aren't friends with them, or your friend isn't a friend of theirs, it just redirects you back to the homepage.

abrahamvegh··on Freemium - Shmeemium (or why micro-billing is better)
Excellent article. Freemium is much better for both consumers and producers:

Consumers avoid annoying ads, and they get something they don't mind paying for (one reason being that it costs so little).

Producers just win all around. :)

abrahamvegh··on Ask HN: Making a free site pay-for-only
Converting to a freemium model is the best way to do it.

Users don't pay for something after they've already been receiving it for free.

abrahamvegh··on Ask HN: Is there an archive, dataset or RSS feed of all HN posts?
I suspect Google has a stored copy, because they store everything.

Agree with oscardelben though: It's going to be a lot of data.
