[10:35] Hey, aren't we due a new release? :) [10:51] Hey, I just heard about this initiative [10:51] Anything I can do to help? [10:53] I have some spare bandwidth and CPU cycles on my server (but not unlimited) [11:11] Hey there. [11:12] When soultcer wakes up, chat with him [11:15] sure thing :) [11:16] torrent has also finally started. I'll leave that open for a bit when it's done to help out [17:04] hello [17:04] hi [17:04] I run a little and personal url shortener [17:04] at uzy.me [17:05] you can get the list of all shortened url at uzy.me/?urlteam [17:05] cool :) [17:05] I'll setup a cron to update the list once a month [17:05] I'm actualy not part of the urlteam [17:05] it's not very used (and it's not intended to be) so no need to crawl more than once a month I guess [17:05] but cool that you are doing this :) [17:07] what is cool is that urlteam does exists [17:08] for me the cost was like 5 minutes of my time :-) [17:08] but what is not cool is that they need to exist :( [17:09] I'm actually kind of happy that Twitter started doing their own URL shortening [17:09] url shortener are useful for service such as identi.ca and twitter, and it is true that they are a huge point of failure [17:09] so at least the url shortener will not die before the place where it is used [17:09] they are linked in a way [17:10] tweets won't die with twitter, people can make backup of their tweets [17:10] well, I'm not so sure about that [17:11] it's actually really hard to properly backup your own tweets [17:11] and if you are doing that anyway, you can probably also unshorten links at the same time :P [17:12] maybe [17:12] but anyway people are using short url even when it's not needed [17:13] true [17:13] I actually used tr.im a lot before it imploded [17:14] mostly on Twitter though [17:14] but also on a business card [17:14] and I had to throw all of those out :P [17:15] interestingly enough, that URL does not seem to be in the urlte.am db [17:15] it was http://tr.im/anemone [17:15] I used urltea.com a lot before they stopped existing, that's why I run uzy.me now, and it's open source (it's the same soft as ur1.ca with personnal improvements, you can find it on gitorious at https://gitorious.org/lilurl :-)) [17:16] cool [17:16] well, I'll hilite the ops so they backlog my messages, and then I'll get back to work :-) (cc chronomex soultcer ivan`) [17:16] have a good life :-) [17:16] bye [17:16] you too! [22:33] SketchCow: I'm a bit behind on the next release, since I did not do much fetching since the last release [22:34] Me and my stupid idea of rewriting the code in Python3. Now I have a half working version in Python3 in addition to my already existing, half-working version in Ruby ;-) [22:42] dawuss: The problem with tr.im is, that we started working on it after it closed down it's interface and only left redirection in place [22:43] Turns out when you created a custom shorturl they were case insensitive, when it was a random shorturl it was case sensitive. And somehow the random shorturls could overwrite the custom shorturls when they contained uppercase letters [22:44] So when swebb and me both had a result file and I tried to merge it, I got funny results. [22:44] Oh, and it appears a bug in the software truncated some URLs, but only sometimes, othertimes they were full length [22:44] Oh, and when you hit tr.im with more than a couple of requests per second, it locked up and you had to wait for the owner to restart his webserver [22:45] That's why we unfortunately only got a small part of all tr.im URLs.
