Morse Generator Script Upgrades and Site Search

I wanted to do a quick post to mention that today I've added a few features to the Text to Morse Code MP3 Ringtone Generator. I added a couple of faster speeds as well as the option to repeat your text in the ringtone up to 10 times. (You'll probably need it for the faster ones.)

I really suggest you keep it to one or two times for the slow ringtones, in fact I would have to look back, but I think I've done between 2 and 5 repeats for the speeds I've autogenerated for the site. What works best for you will really depend on your code rate and the length of the text.

The name Ann is significantly shorter than Alexander for instance and at the slow speed, even the code for alexander may be cut short by some phones. So, feel free to play around with the repetition and speed settings. (I may even roll out some faster speeds - the current max is now 30WPM.)

I've also cleaned up a few visual typose here and there, added a search box for google site search. One note on this is that right now we only have 5 pages indexed in google, but from the logs their spider is going crazy working through the site, so.... in a few days maybe that sill be more useful. I added the alphabet menu to the bottom of pages as well to make sure that it had as much visibility as possible.

This is probably the last big round of tweaks for a little while. Future changes at this point will likely be in the form of expanded name lists (and Prosign/other mp3 clips.) This has been a very fun project to put together and I encourage anyone interested in advancing their scripting skills to lay out a project like this and do it to push their skills a bit further.

Given the size and scope of this site and project (9100+ names/4 mp3s for each name, etc.....) I suspect that there are probably a few issues here and there with a page that didn't generate right or who knows what, but I think we're at a pretty good point right now. Thanks again for stopping by.
