Well, I’m finally back online here, and I apologize to my few readers for being AWOL.
I’ve been busy getting Teensylink finished, and it turned out to be a bit tricky dealing for the first time with Ruby on Rails, especially with the buggy fastcgi implementation Apache’s got. It’s frustrating when the exact same code works on your own machine but not on your server.

Teensylink is a simple website that takes in a URL and returns a short ‘teensylink’ in the form of http://teensylink.com/xxxxx, where the xxxxx is a unique 5-digit code. If you visit the teensylink in your browser, you’re redirected to the original link. Users can also add password-protection and CAPTCHA-protection to their teensylinks and view realtime stats on how many visits their teensylinks have recieved. There’s also a bookmarklet users can drag to their browser toolbar so they can create a teensylink to whatever page they have open in their browser.
Why would someone use a tool like this?
Below is a screenshot of the Teensylink homepage. Click here to visit the site.
