Today I was at the malaysian FOSS community meeting.
As usual for this kind of meetings there were presentations.
Victor Yap told about Blender, changes between versions 2.49 and 2.50. Show several movies of Durian team (http://durian.blender.org) and movie of his team with nice girl and lion.
In next short presentations I got information about Hackerspace in Kuala Lumpur.
And next presentation was really interesting for me. Presenter told about Arduino (http://arduino.cc). Very nice hardware solution. I think I'll play with Arduino very soon.

I don't like China because

I got ticket to Grand-Prix. I'm so happpppyyyyy!!!

        return cls._instance

Dear Sudar'! ^_^
Please! Try out hi.kg API.
It's implemented on json-rpc.
url: http://hi.kg/api.php
method: shorten
argument: url
return: shorten_url

Some examples:

<?php

require_once("jsonRPCClient.php");
$client = new jsonRPCClient("http://hi.kg/api.php");

echo $client->shorten( "http://www.osmonov.com");

?>

Also JSON-RPC PHP lib here

Have a nice shortening!
