Columbia Redirect

Have you ever seen the following message?

Isn’t that annoying? This message has been bothering me for years, as I don’t generally bother to type www. in front of domains I put into the address bar. I pleaded with Columbia to add a simple .htaccess rule, but they would not. They insist the highly-annoying meta-redirect is necessary. This lil’ script solves that problem.

If you’ve got Greasemonkey and Firefox, or a current version of Opera, you’re all set.

Safari hates me

About

I think about interfaces a lot, and occasionally dream about programming. I'm always working on some project, which is why it stays pretty quiet around here.

When I'm doing doing any of that, I take photos, put down funky drum beats, make wicked sandwiches, and hold my own at pub trivia. I do all of the above for fun, and am continually searching for ways to make fun turn a profit.
