Um, x-rates.com is for EXCHANGE RATES
January 26th, 2006I spoke at the Fredericton .NET User Group last night on Team System. It went well – a lot of the stuff in Team System is fun to show and professional developers really resonate with it.
Well… I use the Address toolbar in the Windows taskbar. It just so happened that the last site I visited via that toolbar was www.x-rates.com, which is where I regularly check the current US to Canadian dollar exchange rate. In the middle of my presentation I noticed the URL and it dawned on me that it might not be obvious to everyone that the site is, um, family friendly. So if you were at the presentation and the noticed the URL, X is for exchange.
