I finally managed to make some time and implement step 1 in making my web directory semi-open. that is, it now sends a confirmation email to all submissions. It is programmed to send 2 emails every 5 minutes.

My very own URL shortener service
Saturday, August 15th, 2009I just started up my own url shortener service on ALUS based on tinyurl wo which I made 2 modifications at this time:
– presented the user the very short url, without the i parameter (as in http://alus.ws/1(3 characters shorter than default)
– added another parameter, tinyurl, to the save GET request which simulates the same output as the tinyurl.com api-create.php page. This part is then used by the autotwitter I use, which i also had to modify because it uses tinyurl hardcoded
Enjoy 🙂
