[02:46] <TehShrike> So hey.  I've got a URL shortener laying around, what sort of format would you guys prefer it dumped in?
[02:46] <SketchCow> See how it is in urlte.am
[02:46] <TehShrike> Would you like an API to it?
[02:46] <SketchCow> Are you the shortener?
[02:47] <TehShrike> Yeah, I wrote one up a few years ago one night when I was drunk
[02:48] <TehShrike> Gets a thousand or so people clicking through the URLs a month.  Not too big, but there's a few thousand URLs shortened in it
[02:48] <TehShrike> The idea of a central backup for URL shorteners seems like a good idea
[03:14] <SketchCow> API is good to have to it, yes.
[03:22] <chronomex> TehShrike: okay, cool. I can help you.
[03:23] <chronomex> the way we archive url shorteners is detailed on urlte.am.
[03:23] <chronomex> in short:
[03:23] <chronomex> http://tinyurl.com/foo-whatever
[03:23] <chronomex> becomes a line in the file 'tinyurl.com'
[03:24] <chronomex> foo-whatever|http://target.url/
