Here's a calculator that will generate a random one for you:
A random one indeed, because the javascript for it is just: [..] does not follow RFC4193 in any way at all. A such do not use it.
The original real RFC4193 ULA generator script can be found at: http://www.kame.net/~suz/gen-ula.html
google(ipv6 ula) for another page, that has been referenced often enough on this very list already, if you want to 'register' it there to avoid another small chance of collision, that page also uses the script from the above site for a true RFC4193 prefix.
Oh well, so much for the googles.
Yes, it is a shame that the bitace thing references RFC4193 and then does not use it. Lets Bcc: them and see if they act upon, you never know if they fix things or not, there are good guys still left on these Internets.
Still, don't make up your own squat range for "private" IPv6 space. Use ULA if you really want such a thing.
I am wondering what you meaning with 'squat', note that what I reference above is real full RFC4193 calculated ULA. The optional registration thingy is just optional for those that don't trust probability and want to have a little more security. Also lots of folks like to claim something as their own and well storage bits are cheap for that little amount of info and reassures a lot of folks. Greets, Jeroen
