You spend too much time with your blog, when...

... you type blog.debian.org while actually meaning bugs.debian.org.

Josh Triplett on :

If you were typing out a URL in Mozilla or Firefox, you should try setting up a keyword bookmark. Bookmark "http://bugs.debian.org/%s" with the keyword "bug", and you can then type "bug 332815" or "bug adduser" or "bug adduser-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org". Similarly, I have dl -> http://lists.debian.org/debian-%s and dp -> http://packages.debian.org/%s . Try it out; it's an amazing timesaver.

BTW, the preview for this post shows it being filled with entities for & g t ; and & q u o t ; (without the spaces); I don't know if it'll come through correctly.

I frequently use KDE shortcuts which fire up konqueror, but some URLs are simply too hard-wired into my fingers to abbreviate.

The " issue is an issue with the blog hoster which I am not in a position to fix.
