I'm making linkbun.ch the default domain for LinkBunch and that requires some configuration changes that may take either of the domains, or both, offline for some time.
By the time you read this, the change should have happened and you probably won't notice anything, but if you do land up on LinkBunch within the next few minutes and don't see anything there, this should give you an answer!

Tiny ID generation code in place
I was experimenting with different methods of using short IDs to represent the link bunches, but I figured it would be inconvenient to have IDs like C3GE6AF4 (CRC) or 2781f758c6b29151008187a96f497bebd52f5810 (MD5). TinyURL and similar sites have shorter codes that aren't based on any hashing algorithm and they prove to be convenient as well as efficient, so I sat down to write a simple permutation-based ID generator.
This post is only to let you know that it's finished and now you'll have tiny IDs for use with the link bunches you create :)
Meanwhile, here is an interesting, relevant read pointed out by @codelust: URL Shortening: Hashes In Practice
