I'm a drunken hard man?

Mmmm ... I had a bad dream ... I was standing at the crossroads For those days when the boss man (or woman) has got you down, your lady (or man) has left you, or your dog (or cat) has died. Or when you just got them desktop blues. warning: sound

Totally awesome. They told us we can only wear headphones until noon today though, so man, I got the blues.

That is really wonderful. Can someone smarter than me tell me why Switzerland ended up with .ch ?

(Switzerland is officially the Confoederatio Helvetica, hence ch, cavalier.)

Can someone smarter than me tell me why Switzerland ended up with .ch? Now that's just lazy... I have to say I never questioned it. I just remember it's always been that way on car stickers in Europe and on skiers' vest numbers (or do they have SCH?) and thought maybe it was something to do with Schweiz. Anyway, it turns out it's all down to Latin -- and this also explains why it says Helvetica on Swiss stamps. Something I'd never questioned either.

Correction: it's SUI on athletes' vests. Ahhh... the quote "...you see, but you do not observe" really applies to me.

That was a nice little 5 minutes of fun - the radio was a nice additional touch, too...

Argh... office terminal has locked out all micromedia content... now, I have the desktop blues, thanks.

Wow, I never knew it was so easy to be down and out. And how heartening to find someone who's worse off than me! Great link, terrapin, hope that you never get the Terraplane Blues.

Hm. The blues distilled to 24 elements. I think they didn't try hard enough. I bet they could squeeze it down to only 3 (with row 1, 2nd button being the critical one).
