After about a year of working on it, my #NerdStitch cross-stitch tribute to the 1985 Amiga Deluxe Paint King Tut is done! Created from the original image, I did have to scale it down a little. The stitched version is 180x200, about 34,000 stitches.
i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with blahblah@deleteduser.com or similar.
The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.
And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D
"The death of a program happens when the programmer team possessing its theory is dissolved. A dead program may continue to be used for execution in a computer and to produce useful results.

I feel like this essay should be taught alongside Twitter as a case study.
