Nah, that was a joke. ;)

I'm not so easily offended. There have been far worse one-picture web sites in the past.

I just assumed that the image was supposed to convey a humorous meaning about the person depicted (is it you?), so I tried to be humorous too. I forgot to put a smiley, though. :)

It is indeed me. And it continues to freak out a lot of people. :D
Also, it is not a one-picture website by design, I am just too lazy to actually create a website to populate the domain I am paying for.

I meant a native UTF-8 console, where you can do:

And have it print € ?

I am caused to assume that chcp <nifty parameters go here> will cause the Windows XP console to switch to UTF-8 mode.
This is untested, however, as I use uxterm.

It looks like a console hack. You must use _only_ Lucida Console font and you get readable output. Setup it in properties.

Can you read some useful from this utf-8 console? How?

I have another question.
Does "std.stdio" means "Standard . Standard Input Output library"? It has to be
named like "std.io". However it has no any Input things but Output only. Then it
has to be named like "std.o". Sounds cool: S-T-D--O! :-D
Developers, don’t name things which have no named functionality.
