Yes, you can change the style of this page! Well, you can since several months, but I don’t know if many of you have tested the “alternate” style sheets. Anyway, I’ll explain each, one by one.

Column

The Column style has been created just to experiment if it was possible to make a fixed-width style easily. Yes, it was. This is probably the only style I’m style improving, when I have nothing else to do, I like “modding” my style sheets.

Fizzy

I created that style to see if I was able to produce the same design as my previous (full tables) layout. I think I succeeded. It looks ‘almost’ the same as the original fizzy!

Classic

The heir of the rounded boxes style. I don’t know why, but I wanted firstly a — what we call ‘liquid’ — relative width layout. Made with the same tints of blue as Column.

No CSS

The plain one. The simplest one. The greatest one.

Here is the list of some of the software we’ll be using in our 3 years formation:

• 3D Studio Max
• Adobe Photoshop CS
• Adobe Illustrator CS
• Adobe GoLive CS
• Finalcut 2.0.3
• Macromedia Flash MX 2004
• Macromedia Director MX 2004

Cool, eh?

I did the same thing with all the single-letter domain names ending with “org”. Only one — yes, one — was registred.

X.org is the website of the X.org group. Weird, isn’t it?

However, I found another “special” domain name: org.org. It’s seems — no home page — to be the website of a person, which likes cars… Anyway, have fun on the Internet :-P

Note for my-self: “Now Remi, do the same thing with .net’s. You know, to make a sort of trilogy… But wait some days, to keep the punch!“

I find my-self with a couple minutes in my hands today. So I did a little search around the web to find out where some single-letter-domain-names (with .com) would take me.

I found my self astonished about the fact that only 3 of them were linked to a website. They are q.com, x.com and z.com.

Q.com is a “shortcut” for Qwest.com website.
X.com redirects to Paypal website?!?
Z.com takes you to the Nissan ‘Z’ website.

Interesting search huh? I thought that companies would have register those domain names and make them redirecting to their website, in case of a mistyping error by a user.

Update: As someone said (BruB, in that case) you can’t register a dot com domain names if it doesn’t have more than 3 letters. He said that he was wondering how much companies gave (in cash) to be the owner of those domain names. I don’t know, but let me remind you two of the well-known sold domain names:

Business.com was sold to eCompanie for $7.5 million on November 1999.
Year2000.com bid on eBay ended at $10 million on January 2000.

It’s Google 6th Birthday! Here are some of Google’s latest realisations: Gmail, Blogger and Orkut.

Google.com

Yeah, it must arrive sooner than you’d think… ;)

P.S. - Esthetica is the new modzine (or shell-shocked), in french. A customization e-zine, in french. Stay tuned!
