Shorty is free link aliasing utility like TinyURL except it resides on your own server (requires PHP and MySQL). An alternative to writing redirect rules in your .htaccess file.

Can't you just use the WP plugin for this? Pretty painless.
Hadn't seen this Rob, but doesn't it have limited functionality?
I guess it's automated, granted that's good, but Shorty is a manual method of re-directing any URL such as those long strings that sometimes end up in your browser address bar. Different tool for a different job—but I imagine they could make quite a pair.
That is true. It's very limited. I copied the source and updated it for WP 2.x.
