Made all the links visible in the hardcopyh. Used bit.ly to shorten long and ugly URLS.

There is a problem using bit.ly which is that all URLs are permanent. I'm of the mind that we need a solution that is mshafae@fullerton.edu specific so we can have short URLs that are editable.
Ex. http://csuf.org/cpsccatalog

That would be great!
Any suggestions on the solution?
Thanks, Mikhail

I noticed that some of the URLs were in a \url nested inside a \href which caused them to be drawn inside two nested boxes, which looked odd. I removed the nesting so now links are just inside a toplevel \url .
We still need a solution for editable redirects.
Sorry about the earlier comment. I was logged in under a different account.
I'm thinking about doing an in-house URL shortener. Any recommendations on a domain name? cscsuf and cpsccsuf are all available.
Both domains sound good. I guess I prefer the cpsc abbreviation since it's more consistent with the student-facing registration system. Actually what about csufcpsc, just to avoid having the run of two cc's, which will be hard to pronounce?
I converted all the URLs to use Michael's shrinker app in commit 27da17dcf348977ff9d4d21794911c0b7a0fcd74 . The domain name is in a macro so we can switch that easily.
I switched the domain to csufcs.com in commit 9e369820d3a6034e6f81a9918e6446f32cd8d875 .
This URL is no longer valid. http://www.fullerton.edu/ecs/cs/resources/formsDocuments.asp
