IttyUrl.net in Beta

My latest creation, IttyUrl.net, takes the "Short Url" concept farther, and is oriented toward developers.

1) Turns long Urls into "Ittified" short Urls just like the dozens of similar sites do.
2) Automatically spiders the target page, returning the url type (Feed or Page), Title, and up to 200 TAGWORDS on the page, along with any custom tagwords you provide, and indexes all.
3) Easy "bookmarklet" you can drag to the Toolbar or add to Favorites enables you to "Ittify" any page while viewing it.
4) RSS Feeds of your IttyUrls, or most recent site-wide IttyUrls.
5) Search by tags or Title keywords.
6) Tag Cloud feature.
7) Complete WebService API
8) Neat little script you can put on any page of your blog or web site (neutered here, remove the + signs):


Everything on the site is free! Comments, suggestions and criticism are welcome!

Try it! http://www.ittyurl.net

    Hello Peter,
    the script given for IttyUrl.net shows up in textarea like below with "+" in between "script" tag,this may be confusing for the people who doesnot know much about javascript and like to copy paste the script.

    Regards,

    Exactly. Hence my explanation (did you read it?) "neutered here, remove the + signs".

    I cannot put script tags into a blogger post, not even inside a textarea. Seemed to me that I had made that abundantly clear in the post, but I guess I was wrong.

Some observations on Script Callbacks, "AJAX", "ATLAS" "AHAB" and where it's all going.

I've taken a more than cursory interest in the whole Remote Scripting (.NET species) vs. AJAX and now ATLAS discussion, mostly because I started using Remote Scripting since Microsoft first released it, and because I continued to refine it after seeing Brent Ashley's excellent work with JSRS, which was one of the first "real" cross-browser solutions back in 2000 (that's the turn of the Century for you history buffs). Now Bertrand Leroy, a Microsoft guy whose work I like , has authored some very interesting ASP.NET 2.0 script callback stuff that he points to on his blog, and he is obviously (at least, to me he is) involved quite heavily in the development of this new ATLAS infrastructure that they'll preview at PDC. Leroy's most recent post brings to the surface what I agree are the major differences between the "AJAX a - la .NET" approach as popularized by Michael Swartz with his AJAX.NET library, and Leroy's RefreshPanel, the ASP.NET 2.0 b

IE7 - Vista: "Internet Explorer has stopped Working"

Image
This one was a bitch. All of a sudden for no reason at all, out of the blue, I get this dialog "internet Explorer has stopped working". I didn't install any new software, crap- I didn't do anything! So here I am using FIREFART to go on the internet and find out what to do! Damn! Good thing I've got the sucker on the same machine (I'm not "anti-Firefox", i just don't use it that much except to check my page renderings). The Fix The fix (at least for me): 1) Go into Control Panel, and choose "Internet Options". 2) Under the "Advanced" tab, press the "RESET" button at the lower right: Don't ask me why this happens, or why the fix works. That's a BUG, D00D - I don't care how you slice it!

FIREFOX / IE Word-Wrap, Word-Break, TABLES FIX

One of the most annoying things a developer (who would normally delight in writing code, not futzing with markup) can have is getting rendering issues between different browsers. The two biggest players are of course Internet Exploder and Firefart (as I lovingly like to refer to each). In most cases that's going to take care of 98 percent of your total site traffic. IE has had a proprietary "word-break" style attribute for a long time, and this made it into the CSS 3.0 spec. But that doesn't necessarily help you with Firefox right now. Firefox literally - (and I consider this completely idiotic, since it's been in their bug database for FIVE YEARS) does not have a reliable CSS style element to force table cell content to break in the middle of a word in order to stop the content from expanding your table / div off the page or over other content on the page. Here's a partial fix, which will work for most tables and browsers. The style declaration (I call it m
