To be fair, I've only once worked as a "contractor" via an agency - and that's because I needed work fast. Eventually, I finally hooked up with a guy that had a broader development business, and I never looked back.

Nevermind that. What domain postfix are they going to use? They can't use .sc because that belongs to the Seychelles. Ecuador uses .ec (just in case they decide to go with Ecosse).

.scotty?

Wikipedia says .scot[^] is the answer.

That's not a top level domain. Take a look at the paragraph just above the references.

.scot is a top-level domain for Scotland ...
... Scotland would leave the United Kingdom and get its own two letter country code top-level domain (ccTLD).
Ah, so it's a TLD, but not a ccTLD. That makes sense.

Yup. I believe Alex Salmond wants it to be .fu.

Just done writing a PowerShell script that automates a task that otherwise would take up an hour of the system admin's time every day. Does the job neat and great.
This is my fist PowerShell script, such a neat and powerful language. And I wrote code today after quite a long time, gives the feeling of a really productive day. I'm having a happy feet today.

Congratulations. Back in the late 90's when I was a Unix System Admin, I had a sign on my door that stated. "Be nice to me, or I will replace you with a script."

Good for you.

I spent the whole day walking through this museum[^]. It must be more than 25 years since I went there for the last time. As an excuse: I did not live here im Munich back then and would never have guessed to end up here.
Among the most memorable displays:
A Apple I which looks even cheaper than my old Netronics Elf II, which also was a kit from more or less the same time.
I walked through and around a Junkers 52 airplane.
Took a deep look into J2 rocket engine (Saturn V, second stage).
Had a good look at an A4 rocket from the fins up to the nose. The grandpa of both the Russian and American space programs.
Parked my behind on a Cray I and pretended not to know that it was not a round vistor bench
Got many pictures of the inside and outside of a Sikorsky S-55, but found no way to climb into the cockpit without getting thrown out.
Turned the propeller of a Messerschmitt 109 when nobody was looking and could not get close enough to the Messerschmitt 262 to do more than take some pictures.
And there was a Zuse Z4 on display, but I think to have heard that it's only a replica and that there are no more surviving early Zuse computers.

I did the same at another museum an had my wife take a picture. She got almost nothing of the "bench" that I was sitting on because she never grasped that it was the supercomputer that I was going on about.
When I visited the Deutsches Museum 20 years ago, I loved looking at an adaptive optics mirror and a cloud chamber they had setup.

I remember the cloud chamer from the last time, but must have missed the physics exhibits today. But ok, now that I live here, I only needed an excuse to go there again.

I live museums that have that kind of stuff.
Been to Smithsonian several times and that's an amazing experience.

I went to live and work near Munich back in 1990 and spent the first six months visiting the Deutsches Museum almost every weekend and spent hours looking around - and getting sore feet. They had these vibrating pads you could stand on for a while to ease the foot pain! I still feel I only touched on a small part of what there was to see. Amazing!
Now I live in Baltimore and go down to DC to visit the various Smithsonian museums and galleries as often as I can.
