Go to the address bar and type hgk.us/ followed by whatever you're looking for. We'll help you look.
Designed for when you know what you're looking for but deciding up front where to look would interrupt your train of thought. Also handy when you're using somebody else's computer and can't get to your bookmarks.
Firstly, the query rewriter is probably why you're here. hgk.us/something activates the query rewriter to help you look for something.
Entering just hgk.us with nothing after it brings you to this page, about.hgk.us.
The domain hgk.us is a place for some of my web-facing applications and toys to live with fairly short URLs (at seven characters, hgk.us is as short as or shorter than most domain names available to an individual without a substantial budget).
HGK is a contraction of "Halfgeek".
That's up to you. I'm trying to decide myself, but I don't plan on my answer being normative. One possibility is "H. G'k dot us" (rhymes with "Rach Cook lot bus", where "Rach" is short for "Rachael").
If necessary, spelling it all out as "H G K dot U S" is unambiguous and not too painful.
Avoid saying "halfgeek dot us"; that's simply inaccurate.
It's the logo of Halfgeek Technologies, the entity that runs this site.
Inside the ring is a stylized ">>1". In some programming languages, this is a 1-bit right shift, which is in a rough sense equivalent to dividing by 2. In other words, it is an operation a geek would use to find half of a number.
I think I must have been short on sleep when I came up with that connection.
The answer is yes, but currently all are experimental.
This project was previously known as both wxy.us and hfgk.us before the current domain name became available. Those names are deprecated and we shall not speak of them again.
