    "If someone from the 1950s suddenly appeared today,
     what would be the most difficult thing to explain
     to them about today?"

    "I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable
     of accessing the entirety of information known to
     man. I use it to look at pictures of cats and get
     into arguments with strangers."

How did they get the domain name I wonder? I thought .cat was reserved for websites that promote the Catalan language and culture.

It's quite easy. I own http://sqr.cat/ for instance. You just register it through http://gandi.net/

The only requirement for .cat is that you need to display a page in Catalan for a minimum of 6 months.

Good to know, thanks!

Nope, you need to have contents in Catalan in your .cat site, not for six months but forever. I couldn't find this 6-months clause anywhere, and the terms don't mention it at all: http://fundacio.cat/ca/domini/sobre-el-cat/normativa

Furthermore, they clearly say that violation of the only usage restriction (contents in Catalan) can result in your domain being suspended.

edit: Just a little correction to your text in Catalan: L'idioma català és una llengua bonica. ;)

Nice work! Does it have an API like thecatapi.com?

hangmeon• 12 years ago

Hi, no API, but that can be put together really quick.

I'm no cat expert, but I don't think that's a cat...
