What is this?
I own a handful of domains, like this one, and like most [good] hosts offer these days, I have unlimited subdomains for them. For some time now, hppr.co has been my own short URL, which I built out some static subdomains for to link to things I use a lot and either cannot remember the full URL for, or I felt the full URL was just way too long.
These are some of my custom subdomains that might be of use to you, but as they are all just redirects, they may stop working at any time without prior warning.
hppr.co Subdomains
kino.hppr.co – Goes to Kinokuniya USA BookWeb (https://usa.kinokuniya.com/)
Tip: URL forwarding is on, which means if you’re looking for a specific book and know the ISBN number, you can type kino.hppr.co/products/<isbn number> to go directly to that book.
olcc.hppr.co – Goes to the OLCC’s Oregon Liquor Search (http://www.oregonliquorsearch.com/). Must be 21+ to use. Let you search liquor stores in Oregon for specific products to see if they are carried, their price, and amount in-stock.
wst.hppr.co – Goes to the timetables for the seasonal Willamette Shore Trolley (https://wst.oregontrolley.com/wst-schedule-fares/)
at.hppr.co & amtrak.hppr.co – Goes to an actually useful Amtrak and Via Rail live map of trains (https://asm.transitdocs.com/)
City of Portland Tools
pdx.hppr.co – Goes to PDX Reporter (https://pdxreporter.org/#Login). If you live in Portland (The Oregon one. Sorry, Maine.) and ever wondered how to report potholes, graffiti, burnt out lights, etc. this is how. Requires a [free] City of Portland web account.
snow.hppr.co – Goes to the City of Portland’s Winter Weather Center (https://www.portland.gov/transportation/weather/winter-weather-center). This page has a live map of snow plows in the winter.
scoot.hppr.co – Goes to the City of Portland’s report an e-scooter page for parking issues, etc. with scooters (https://www.portland.gov/transportation/regulatory/escooterpdx/report)
Portland Streetcar Timetables
Let’s face it, Umo (formerly NextBus) sucks. If you’ve also given up on its predictions like I have, you can use these to pull up the timetables instead.
Unfortunately, Streetcar changed their website in late September 2024 and removed the previously excellent scrollable table. These links now go to an intermediary page instead that will let you find the timetables via TriMet.
Note: The timetables show timing points only. Trains should depart the listed stations at the times listed. If your station is not listed, look for the closest timing point before your station, and add about two minutes for every station between the timing point and yours. Or you can use TriMet’s trip planner. Use the Schedules button to find out when a train is actually supposed to be at a stop.
nsn.hppr.co – NS North
nss.hppr.co – NS South
al.hppr.co – A-Loop (that’s AL.hppr.co)
bl.hppr.co – B-Loop (that’s BL.hppr.co)
Portland Streetcar & TriMet Radio
I do not run either of the websites these redirect to. Both are scanners configured to record radio calls by others in the Portland area. They are not official resources and are NOT real-time (radio calls have to record first). Your primary resource should always be the official Streetcar and TriMet service alerts, but these can be useful if you know what to listen for.
stcar.hppr.co & stcar2.hppr.co – Actually the entire Portland P25 system (including all of TriMet), but pre-filtered to the Portland Streetcar talkgroups. (https://openmhz.com/system/portland?filter-type=talkgroup&filter-code=2401,2403,2405)
Note: stcar.hppr.co previously provided a different system that was less reliable and has since been retired, which is why there is also stcar2. Both now use the same system.
tmr.hppr.co – Rose City Transit’s incredibly useful TriMet scanner. Note: page formatting is not responsive design and is finicky on mobile devices. Does not support SSL. (http://www.rosecitytransit.org/radio/)
francehopper.com Subdomains
anifilm.francehopper.com – Goes to the Fathom Events listings for upcoming anime (https://www.fathomevents.com/categories/anime)
blog.francehopper.com – Goes here! Well, the homepage anyway. Not this specific page.
projects.francehopper.com – Goes to the Projects page on here.
resume.francehopper.com – Goes to the Resume page on here.
End of life:
These domains used to go to specific pages on the Powell’s Books website. Powell’s has since updated their website, and the pages these originally linked to no longer exist. Both URLs now redirect to Kinokuniya instead.
books.francehopper.com – Goes to my recommended reads at Powell’s Books.
manga.francehopper.com – Goes to used manga at Powell’s sorted by most recent arrivals with a 200 items limit per page.
