I do too, but the value isn't in personal use. It's in chalkboards,
overhead projectors, and casual conversations, when you're trying to get
something to stick in a crowd's mind. Actually
"call-with-current-continuation.org" is rather easy for a Functional
Programmer to remember... but most people don't know what FP is.
It does stick, indeed. Of course a few more remaining possibilities
are navigating to it via a few hops from some easy to remember wiki
(like http://community.schemewiki.org/ though that's not the shortest
name either),
I don't consider community.* an easy URL to remember. I've never seen a
URL like that before.
google,
Only certain people have Google discipline. Most people are lazy.
your homepage or profile somewhere etc, have a
personal wiki (more common these days, see http://pbwiki.com/ or use a
service like tinyurl to create some nice TLA-length alias :)
A stretch, since I have none of these things.
Cheers,
