Hi,
Heads up about two different issues...
At Google they are apparently replacing ~'s with blanks because the
eskimo.com link is displayed as .../ weidai/bmoney.txt when it is actualy
.../~weidai/bmoney.txt. I couldn't figure out a rhyme or reason as to why
Google does this, and not consistently across different URL's but it always
shows a given URL wrong.
At eskimo.com instead of giving a 404 or other error with the incorrect
Google URL it gives you a nicely colored blank page.
I've alerted both systems to the issues.
