Link is a simple PHP script for URL shortening and URL stability. URL stability is useful when putting links in desktop applications and do not want to tie the website or web application down.
First, the website. Well, it got a face lift. I took the minimalist theme and added a different background. I sketched out what I eventually want my website to look like so as time passes an evolution should take place. On a more exciting matter, I have installed my very own SSL certificate from CACerts.org. Although the root certificate isn't trusted by most browsers, if you go to https://www.apfritts.com/, you will be prompted about an untrusted SSL certificate, which, if you accept, will enable you to view my website over a SSL connection. Pretty sweet!
Finally, I have started the process of getting TI's IAR Workbench installed to program a series of TI MSP430F417 microprocessors I have for random home automation. Not quite sure what the goal will be yet, but who cares! I have two radio transmitters, a current sensor and some other random components to try out.
I might even try to go green with the system! Put one in my car and another in my room, when my car is not in the garage (because if my car isn't at home, why am I?), the system could ensure all of my lights and monitors are turned off. That is a pretty big step, I think the first thing I am going to try is lighting up the LED on the evaluation board, then try the radio communication, then if I'm lucky and that works start actually doing stuff with it. There has to be an open source project dedicated to writing random bits of software for these devices, right?
