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/
