A while ago I read Sam Browns ‘How to register an International domain name’ and immediately got domain envy. A few minutes later I snapped up http://pɐ.com/ as a solution to my bloated domain name eating into my 140 characters.

It comes as no surprise that I have no ‘ɐ’ or ‘p’ key on my keyboard and I needed a better solution than having to construct it on my clipboard using the upside-down generator .

Enter Lessn.

Lessn

To cut a long story short, I downloaded and installed Lessn and made a little change that constructed the international domain for me. Whilst I am aware all this is doing is outputting the new domain, it adds it into my blogging ‘workflow’ . Not to mention the benefits of Tweeties custom shorteners [though I am yet to play with this]

The changes are simple, change line 7 & 8 of /-/index.php to:

define('CUSTOM_DOMAIN', 'www.uıɐɯopɹnoʎ.com');
define('LESSN_DOMAIN', 	preg_replace('#^www\.#', '', CUSTOM_DOMAIN));
