.NET Gravatar Library

I’ve updated my Gravatar source. I am no longer working on the control version. I have focused my attention to a library model. With the library you are able to manipulate the image more then you could with the control. The image is stored in memory as passed as an image. I am working on arrays that will allow you to pass an overload containing a list of emails and return the Gravatar in the given order.

.NET URL Shorten-er Library

I’ve been working on a few applications were I’ve been using TinyURL a lot. So, I thought I’d create a library for .NET that contains functions for the most popular URL Shorten-er sites.

 

Function TinyURL
Function TimesURL
Function DoiopURL
Function MemURL
Function DwarfURL
Function SnipURL
Function ShorlURL
Function LoajURL
Function BitlyURL
Function IsGdURL
Function SixURL
Function TightURL
Function UrlXURL
Function YepItURL

Total there are 14 function that all server the same purpose. It’s really a personal preference as to what service you want to use. Each function accepts 1 overload and returns a single String.

Example: 


dim sTest As String = TimesURL(sURL)

The library will be available soon. Any interest in this or ideas please leave a comment.

FBI: Cool People.

Did you guys know that you can go to your local field office with emails, chats, websites; etc? Why? To have them tracked to the source. Maybe you’ve been getting threatening, bullying or disrespectful emails. This is a CRIME now. Ever since that little girl in Saint Louis killed herself over MySpace, it is now a FELONY to do this! This is not a matter to be taking lightly. Bullying can lead to depression, suicide, altered behavior, paranoia, poor grades and can ruin families/friends lives! 

If you have ANY emails, chats or IM’s like this I urge you to report it to your local field office or county office. Portraying to be someone else to bully is not only a felony for cyber bullying, it’s also a felony for cyber terrorism, wire fraud and identity theft.
