smlr.mp - a bit pointless

Oct. 9, 2009

When learning a new language or framework it's difficult if you're only using a dry text book. I find it helpful to set myself little tasks or projects. There seems to be about a million URL shorteners about at the moment so I thought I'd make it about 1 million and 1 in the name of learning some Django. Turned out I didn't learn that much Django as it was ridiculously simple! Nevertheless I've put the code live at http://smlr.mp.

The code will shortly appear on Github so you can have a URL shortener on your own domain, which appears to be popular at the moment.

Update: code is here.
