Shorty is self-hosted alternative to URL shortening services like TinyURL.
I do use TinyURL quite often and think it’s a brilliant tool that offers more then enough in the gender of short URL services. But since I am looking into extending this blog with a ‘sidenote/linkroll’ thinky, and can see Shorty being quite a nice and useful little tool taking part in that, I will try it out.
When I was about to install Shorty, I had problem coming up with a good name of the subdirectory where to install it (no shorty wasn’t good enough).

www.nuzzaci.co.uk/-y/
www.nuzzaci.co.uk/out/
www.nuzzaci.co.uk/shorty/
www.nuzzaci.co.uk/external/
www.nuzzaci.co.uk/terminal5/
After a few minutes of thinking, I think I came up with probably the best name ever on a subdirectory on a .co.uk domain (not the best name for the service, just in general).

Just found that the RSS/Atom news reader software NetNewsWire Lite (and NetNewsWire), by Newsgator, now have a sync feature that can be linked to an online account with an web-based RSS aggregator called ‘NewsGator Online‘.
This means that if you subscribe to a new feed at work, it will also appear at home, and if you have read an article at work, it will be marked as read at home. Plus; if your not at home or at work (or any other machine with the software installed), you can use the online reader.
…will drive for McLaren in Formula One next season.
quite surprisingly:
The 21-year-old, who is the current GP2 champion, will be the first black driver to race in Formula One.
But… I would have listed to Scotsman David Coulthard advice:
“I would advise him not to rush in, because if it doesn’t quite work out then his could be a very short career.”
Isn’t this a bit weird; a company (British Airways) is offering their costumer (travelers) the opportunity to take responsibility (pay) for the damage (carbon dioxide) their business (airline) is causing and contributing to global warming?
Or have I missed something?
I guess they (British Airways) are doing all they can already… and this is YOUR chance ( bullocks).
Was browsing the Flickr forum to see if it was possible to give a gift card for a pro account to a non-flickr user (not upgrade).
I didn’t find what I was looking for, but I did stumble over a post that I found very poetic.
It’s written by Guido_A._Waldenmeier, and titled, “Ways to give a pro account back that come as a gift by”
i have as a gift for chrismas
a pro account become.
but i will give this back
to much troble with it (personal problems)
about this gift i become.
sorry my bad english it s not my native one
The original thread is closed (due of a lack of responses over the last month) and Guido is no longer a Flick user.
So… what is the first thing you do with a brand new computer you have been waiting for for over 4 months (besides opening a good bottle of wine)?
Well since it’s not my first (or only) computer, the exploration phase doesn’t really exist. There is not enjoyment in trying the new applications or learning a new user interface. No, It’s just a matter of setting up the computer; install the software you normally use, fine tuning settings and appearance and off you go – back to normal.
In alphabetic order, these was the first ten application I installed:
- Adium
- Entropy php5 module
- Inquisitor
- Last.fm
- Quicksilver
- Synergy
- TextMate
- Transmit
- UnRarX
- VLC
I notice this (the top ten) through my download manager in Safari… and to be honest – I kind of wonder why the first ten are the first ten.
Hello world.
Seems to be working fine.
