Add tinyarro.ws - they use a bunch of domains for the URLs themselves.

by andrewl-hn 18y ago
I don't care about tracking and the length of the URL is the only thing that matters to me. That's why I prefer http://tinyarro.ws/ They use unicode characters to get domains shorter, and I use www. instead of http:// if I need to squee

Disclaimer: I have a Java background :) JRuby is great. If you're building an intranet application in Ruby you should definitely pick up JRuby and Glassfish to host it, that's a no-brainer. And I would also suggest to guys at Engine Yard, H

Wow, great! I just signed up for Posterous a couple of days ago and really enjoy using it. I'd like to see Disqus integration, though :)

The best thing I liked about this is not the joke itself but the reference to local time at Kiribati http://is.gd/pPHl . Now I really feel how big our small planet is! Thanks, Smashing Magazine!

I don't really ink that much, but I found that I use pen as a main pointing device even in a laptop mode, for example, when I browse the web or working with files. And I'm very comfortable with that. The screen can sustain pen's pressure, e

I was waiting for a service like this for years. I actually haven't thought it's even possible. Thanks!

Personally I haven't used Last.fm. But until recently I was a big fan of LaunchCast. Unfortunately Yahoo decided to shutdown it's own music infrastructure and teamed up with CBS: http://ymusicblog.com/blog/2009/02/21/the-new-launchcast-rad

I just don't get it. Why do some people post inks to various and Google homepages? What's the point?

I have a question about how the Web archive works: can Zed ask them to turn down the archived copy and if he does will they remove it? Does anybody know if Zed released his early blog posts under Creative Commons? Because if he did anybody

Just compare IE 8 to IE 7. It's much better browser now. You cannot have an overnight progress. And as for me I would rather prefer having IE 8 released now than keep waiting for another year. Besides I've never felt it's necessary to have

For me the reasons are not really interesting anymore. The world economy is f*cked up. Now what?

Just a small suggestion. Try to find a magazine which will agree to publish your story. If it's long you could split it and publish in chapters. When I was a kid I remember many stories for children were published that way and I liked them.

Most software I use is available at least on three platforms so most of the time picking an OS is a hardware question for me. Last December I picked HP 2730p over Apple notebook. A tablet PC with track pad and point stick, great keyboard, b

That whole situation with ACID 3 is very unclear to me. That 'smooth animation' requirement makes thing so complected. For example I can run Safari 4 beta on a very slow machine and technically it won;t pass the test. Or I could find a very

Palm has a very recognizable brand, indeed. Besides there're not that many Palm phones around and it can help building 'uniqueness' of the products. Of course Nokia make great products, too. But their market share is just too bug to be an '

I would say that's because it was created with Russian internet (Runet) in mind. For example when you enter something in the search box but forget to switch language on your keyboard it will detect it and provide right results with 'did you

I know many people in Russia use Yandex quite a lot. I actually prefer Yandex to Google when I search for something in Russian. When I needs something in English I uses Google or Yahoo though. By the way Yandex has a lightweight home page w
