I do too, but the value isn't in personal use. It's in chalkboards,
overhead projectors, and casual conversations, when you're trying to get
something to stick in a crowd's mind. Actually
"call-with-current-continuation.org" is rather easy for a Functional
Programmer to remember... but most people don't know what FP is.
It does stick, indeed. Of course a few more remaining possibilities
are navigating to it via a few hops from some easy to remember wiki
(like http://community.schemewiki.org/ though that's not the shortest
name either),
