I have a friend who's been bumping around in Europe and he said that
some keyboards (no clue which ones) don't have an easily accessible ~
key, so doing ~ stuff is always a pain in the ass. I never followed up
on that, but it's intriguing. Is the ~ key easily accessible on most
screen keyboards for mobile devices?
I think for those reasons (even if they don't pan out exactly), I'm +1
on /u/<username>/ .

see on them.
- http://mediagobl.in/ -- homepage of this GNU MediaGoblin install,
shows a few featured images, info on GNU MediaGoblin, how to join, etc
- http://mediagobl.in/~cwebber/ -- shows my "profile", including some
info about me, a few of my latest images, some of my favorites
- http://mediagobl.in/~cwebber/m/a-walk-in-the-park/ -- see my "Walk in the
Park" media entry
- http://mediagobl.in/~cwebber/gallery/ has a longer list of all my stuff
- http://mediagobl.in/~cwebber/gallery/?page=2 to get to page 2 of my
gallery, etc
- http://mediagobl.in/~cwebber/feed/ RSS / Atom feed to subscribe to
This has come up a few times off-list so I wanted to bring it up
on-list.
Would people prefer:
http://mediagobl.in/~cwebber/
or
http://mediagobl.in/u/cwebber/
We *won't* be doing:
http://mediagobl.in/cwebber/
because I don't want conflicts with usernames and base urls if we add
features later. If feedmaster registers on some site and later on
/feedmaster/ becomes part of the design I simply *don't* want a naming
conflict.
Anyway I'm partial to the tilde but think I'm in the minority. Show of
hands? Here's your opportunity to bikeshed ;)
