Rather unfortunate that "putty.org" is the first result in searches and looks a lot more legit than "chiark.greenend.org.uk" even if it (currently) links there.

Rather unfortunate that "putty.org" is the first result in searches and looks a lot more legit than "chiark.greenend.org.uk" even if it (currently) links there. I've had discussions with coworkers on why they shouldn't look up "free online json beautifier" and dump thousands of lines of crown jewels into them (http too). Meanwhile we're doing web dev and JSON responses are autoformatted in Firefox dev tools so there's an amazingly convenient and perfectly safe alternative right there... How do we impart urgency with this kind of stuff?

  This looks great! Coworkers don't work in the shell at all though so there's that, but I might use it at times. They're lookin for that syntax highlighted and interactive experience you know.

It's putty's own fault. They used to (and perhaps still do) have a section on how they don't want your donated domain - they like their current one. From their FAQ: > No, thank you. Even if you can find one (most of them seem to have been registered already, by people who didn't ask whether we actually wanted it before they applied), we're happy with the PuTTY web site being exactly where it is. It's not hard to find (just type ‘putty’ into google.com and we're the first link returned), and we don't believe the administrative hassle of moving the site would be worth the benefit.

  >>we don't believe the administrative hassle of moving the site would be worth the benefit this is so short sighted, especially for software used to admin productive systems
