“Well,” Rydra took out a metal tracing plate and a stylus. “I’m simplifying it a little, but let me show you.” She marked the plate. “Let’s say the word for circle is: O. This language has a melody system to illustrate comparatives. We’ll represent this by the diacritical marks: ˇ ¯ ˆ , respectively smallest, ordinary, and biggest. So what would Ǒ mean?”

“Smallest possible circle?” said Calli. “That’s a single point.”

Rydra nodded. “Now, when referring to a circle on a sphere, suppose the word for just an ordinary circle is Ō followed by either of two symbols, one of which means not touching anything else, the other of which means crossing — ║ or X. What would ÔX mean?”

“Great circles that intersect,” said Ron.

“And because all great circles intersect, in this language the word for great circle is always ÔX. It carries the information right in the word. Just like busstop or foxhole carry information in English that la gare or le terrier — comparable words in French—lack.”

Using Apache Virtual Hosts and mod_proxy for Fun & Profit

So I realized the other day that I was typing the same URLs about a zillion times a day. Even with address bar completion in Firefox and/or Chrome, there is still a lot of wasted effort trying to get to a given site. (URL completion doesn't help much when one of your sites is http://server.somethingorother.net/~atravis/ThingOne and another is http://server.somethingorother.net/~atravis/ThingTwo, for example.)

What I wanted was to be able to type in, say, http://thing1.dev and have my system just know that that actually meant I wanted to go to my ThingOne development site. I knew of a lot of ways to do part of that, but no way to solve the whole problem.

Then, in a fit of serendipity (and research), I hit upon this technique!

Note that the directions below presuppose a fair level of comfort with your operating system. I've tried to make the directions clear, and gone into a lot of detail about (lik
