Shorten URLS on the Fly
I just saw this new service called IS.GD that shortens your URLS for you. I’ve taken a liking to this vs. ShortURL and TinyURL because of the length of the site name and the fact that so far, they’ve only reached 3 characters trailing the domain name.
But here’s the trick: they have an awesome API. And that makes it easy for me to make this quick little bookmarklet, which is after the jump. They only work for Firefox.

WordPress 2.5 Color Schemes?
WordPress 2.5 introduces a new color scheme to us, and they call it “Fresh.”
Fresh is supposed to be fresh, as in different from previous versions of WordPress. You are able to create new color schemes, according to a developer, through plugins.
Unfortunately for us who are on WordPress.com, we are forced to live with one of the colors: the Fresh one.
Or are we?

WordPress.com Updates to 2.5
WordPress 2.5 is finally out for WordPress.com users, or whatever version they’re using right now, considering they’re on the MU install of it.
A few minutes ago, there were a few bugs, but now, after the WordPress.com Blog has said everything, it seems to have disappeared. Some of those bugs I encountered were 1) extremely slow loading, 2) visual mode in page / post writing not working, and 3) automatic refreshes without any regard to what I was writing.

If someone steals your cellphone, the very least you can do is stop the cell-phone user from using it. The logical answer to do that is to call your cell phone company (with a landline or something).
