volunteer to run the shorten IRC bot 06/24/2005 07:34 PM
I used to run an IRC robot called shorten that'd scan the channels it was on for long URLs and shorten them using Metamark:http://metamark.net/ Not using IRC I'd forget to keep it running, so it's not much use. If you'd like to volunteer to run it, send me a mail and I'll point you to the code. :-) update - Tod McQuillin foolishly generously volunteered. Thanks Tod!...

Web Sites That Shorten Long URLs
http://notlong.com/links/

These free web sites can take a long URL and give you back a shorter URL without requiring registration. Since these sites forward a click from one link to another, they are also known as URL forwarders and some do subdomain forwarding. Any of these services will do a decent job, but if you want to study them before you pick one, here is an informal survey of the competitive landscape. [beSpacific June 15, 2004]

Thanks to Thomas for this Link. For all of your programming buff's check this out.

"TinyP2P is a functional peer-to-peer file sharing application, written in fifteen lines of code, in the Python programming language. I wrote TinyP2P to illustrate the difficulty of regulating peer-to-peer applications. Peer-to-peer apps can be very simple, and any moderately skilled programmer can write one, so attempts to ban their creation would be fruitless."

Linux Lines Up

width = str(len(str(len(lines))))

width = str(len(str(len(lines)))) 02/10/2004 02:44 AM

The above monstrosity came up today while writing a function to add zero padded line numbers to a chunk of text:

def linenumbers(text):
    "Add zero padded line numbers to text"
    lines = text.split('\n')
    # Find the maximum 'width' of the line count
    width = str(len(str(len(lines))))
    for i, line in enumerate(lines):
        lines[i] = ("%0" + width  + "d. %s") % (i + 1, line)
    return '\n'.join(lines)

I think it has a pleasant kind of symmetry to it.

A unit of Cinergy Corp. today will become the nation's first electric utility to offer high-speed Internet service to customers via its power lines, turning every electrical outlet in homes or offices into a Web connection.

One of the problems with broadband is that cable companies have a virtual lock on the infrastructure necessary. Thank God the power companies can join in now, because they're so much more trustworthy.
