Easterholic
I've always been a little intrigued by awkward algorithms and conversions - such as Orndance Survery grid references to Latitude and Longitude (see here) and when Easter will fall (see here) for some earlier comments - but little did I think when I posted about Ken Palm and his Domain Name Sampling scheme where he's trying to sell something he borrow for free for hundreds of pounds (see here) the other day that I would get an email from someone with a similar - or (let's be fair) far deeper interest in the date of Easter. Yet I shouldn't be surprised - for when I posted up about the Domain Name Registry of America and wwmdirectory in the past, I've received a number of responses from a number of people who strike me as honest and hard working who have either been taken in or - in the case of the Gentleman of Easter - have also smelled a rat.
Oh - the "Date of Easter" page is to be found at www.dateofeaster.net/ and thanks to the alert provided by Ken Palm, also at www.dateofeaster.com. David Harper (David's home page) writes "Ironically, I ought to thank Ken for alerting me to the fact that the domain was finally available. Maybe I should send a postcard to his Colorado mailing address, which appears to be the local UPS store ...";
