[14:50] soultcer: re... tinyback? what's that? [14:51] It is a ruby script to backup shorturls. I.e. I say "backup tinyurl.com starting with aaaa and ending with zzzz" and it will try to fetch all shorturls from that range and store them into a file [14:51] https://github.com/soult/tinyback [14:51] oh.. i see [14:52] and i beliebe you want this kind of backup for all kinds of url shorteners, right? [14:52] Yeah, at the moment it only supports some of the biggest shorteners like tinyurl, bit.ly, is.gd, ... [14:52] by the way... is there a shorter word for "url shorteners"? [14:53] Though with the new python version ("tinyback2") it will include a way to backup "any shortener" given that the shortener uses reasonable http headers [14:54] Nope, I think URL shortener is the only word that is used [14:56] SvenG: Other than creating the list on your hackerspace's wiki, what is your goal for that program you mentioned? [15:06] soultcer: first goal: get it to work. :-) [15:06] Work on what? [15:06] "website" [15:06] soultcer: second.. add as many BIG url shorteners as possible [15:06] For comparing the shorteners? [15:06] basically, we want to see how these shorteners compare [15:06] yep [15:07] we'll see what kind of output they give and how long they are [15:07] and take a look at the APIs, of course [15:09] This means that the urlteam will for the first time have an up to date list ;-) [15:10] Do you have an IRC channel where you and possibly other project members hang out? [15:10] (You are of course welcome to use this channel if you want) [15:16] i think we'll use this channel :) [15:16] however, AK has given up on IRC.. too much overhead for him [15:16] so i'll try to give some info whenever possible [15:16] Sure [15:16] we might meet again tomorrow [15:17] I'm a great fan of newsbeuter [15:17] tell him! :) [15:17] i shall be looking for APIs meanwhile [15:21] Will the code be open source? [15:22] is the pope catholic? ;-) [15:22] HELL, YES! :) [15:22] absolutely [15:23] Cool [15:23] how can you talk about code and not reveal it? [15:23] Thu Mar 29 17:23:57 CEST 2012 [15:24] ah... 17:23:42... missed it ;) [15:24] My IRC client only displays hour and minute, so it's ok ;-) [15:33] oh man.. NerdNite now publishes a magazine.. [15:55] okay.. gotta be off [15:55] seeya tomorrow guys :) [23:14] re.. [23:41] mmm [23:42] apparently the server I was on croaked
