emj's Journal: My URL is my content

A great inebriate hacker once told me "I schould build a content provider service, where the content is in the URL"... It took me about two years to understand what he ment, I think he ment that you can store data in "the cloud" or in the ether between the tubes. So I give openssl and some perl to make it look better:

echo "oh man where is this stored really? The intertubes?" |openssl base64 | perl -pne 'BEGIN{print "data:text/plain;base64,"} chop; END {print "\n"}'

Result:

data:text/plain;base64,b2ggbWFuIHdoZXJlIGlzIHRoaXMgc3RvcmVkIHJlYWxseT8gVGhlIGludGVydHViZXM/Cg==
