ncane.com now allows you a 100-character description to attach to any link you’re sending to a friend.

Also I changed the entire db structure to InnoDB because of the transaction-based stuff I want to build in, and also row-locking instead of table-locking. It makes it a little slower, but with the 50 lines or so of PHP code that constitutes the entire site, I don’t think it’s too much of a problem 🙂

I failed to mention a couple of weeks back that I rewrote the random URL generator code, so that it generates any length of string between 2 and 8 characters in length. No use wasting what amounts to thousands of potential URLs.

So at the moment, you can have a small URL such as http://ncane.com/2u (Google Mail), or a longer one like http://ncane.com/wiki (Wikipedia).
