I've been hard at work on several features within Shrinkadoo which have been requested by many people. Most notably is automatic copy and paste of short URLs. That feature is now included. The app also now remembers the last service you used and loads that up for you right away. That, in conjunction with automated copy and paste means that you can create a new URL in as few as 3 clicks. Also included is better messaging when performing certain actions.

As I'm researching adding features to Shrinkadoo, a jQuery / ColdFusion powered AIR application, I'm learning all sorts of new things about the most excellent AIR framework. One of those things is the ability read to / write from the system clipboard. The ability to copy items to the clipboard is so ubiquitous that it's hard NOT to include it in your app. So let's take a quick peek at how to accomplish this in JavaScript based AIR applications.

Now I know what you're thinking...not ANOTHER URL shortening service! If you WERE thinking that, just keep reading another minute or so because this is better! This is a library which provides a centralized API wrapper for multiple URL shortening services. "What's that you say? I'm intrigued now." Those of you that were thinking about pancakes, or something else can also keep reading. This library is for everyone, or at least everyone who wants shorter URLs in their code.

This was a project I wrote quickly out of need to have some sort of alternate text, dummy text, or greek text, to be dumped into website mockups, print pieces, and other projects which needed a paragraph or two (or 40) of gibberish filler.

Undelivrnator was written out of necessity. The mail servers we had at work were overworked (and of course underpaid). Occasionally mail would fail in it's attempt to be sent and get shunted to the undelivr folder deep within the bowels of ColdFusion.
