#
[jeremycherfas] I’d be worried about what it would reveal if I totalled all my costs for being online. But, as you note, hosting etc is spread over several sites.
#
[jeremycherfas] Reveal to myself, I mean, about how much I spend on this stuff.
#
capjamesg I hadn't done the annual cost calculation until today. Servers most certainly aren't free.

#
[artlung] Does http://Are.na do the fulfillment? Is this project by an Arena user or by Arena itself? I just bought one and can't quite tell.
#
[morganm] Strong intention to check out the website, maybe in future years will buy a phone book
doesnm, btrem, Prutser0 and Virtual joined the channel

[aciccarello] [artlung] I'd love to see the book when you get it. Or at least in December at IWC SD.

gRegor hahah
#
btrem :-D
#
gRegor Where's the search? I only see Dial-a-site
#
gRegor Which is also fun, enter a number, get the site
skippy8 joined the channel
#
[snarfed] search is https://internetphonebook.net/site-lookup.html
#
gRegor you sneaky hacker
#
[snarfed] but it's pretty bare bones, I expect the intent is to be a printed book more than an online directory
#
gRegor yeah
#
gRegor fun project!
#
btrem Sadly, I'm nobody. My name produces three entries, none of which are mine, alas.

#
[social] [artlung] Not sure if http://Are.na does their own fulfullment, but is sure is broken.
#
[social] I used http://Are.na for a short while a couple years ago and quickly ran through the allotted free block. I somewhat liked, it but really don’t like having my content in something I don’t own and run (and can back-up, easily move, or integrate easily with other things). That was my same issue with Notion.
#
[social] I deleted what I put into http://Are.na and looking now I have 500 free blocks trying to entice me to use it again.

#
[social] The http://Are.na gift shop has some interesting things in it.
#
[social] [tantek] I haven’t found a name that is in there yet.
#
[social] The images on the Internet Phone Book on the gift store page strongly remind me of the very early O’Reilly Book about the Internet - The Whole Internet by Ed Krol
