Fake Name Generator Updates

Wow. Lots of changes today.

First, fixed quite a few bugs. There was some cor­rup­tion in the data, and some inac­cu­rate data, so I cleaned that up. Fixed a few typos, too.  Also fixed the bug where credit card num­bers weren’t being saved. And the bug where the gen­der selec­tion links don’t work if you are view­ing a saved iden­tity.
On the server side, I updated the queries to be much much more effi­cient. Hope­fully this will make the server hap­pier dur­ing busy hours.

Made some improve­ments, too. The main page now shows ran­dom gen­ders by default, with the option to select a spe­cific gen­der. You can also down­load a vCard file con­tain­ing your basic iden­tity infor­ma­tion (name, address, etc.).

The API is also up and run­ning. It is REAL basic, but it should work for now. We’ll see how it goes and make changes as necessary.

Been get­ting a few peo­ple buy­ing bulk names to use for what­ever pur­pose. Hur­ray! I can pay the web host­ing bill!

Some upcom­ing features:

• Social Secu­rity Num­ber generation
• Cre­ate iden­tity based on age (haven’t time to post all the details, but trust me, it’ll be cool…)
• More email options
• Cana­dian addresses
