Simple bijective function (base(n) encode/decode)
# Simple bijective function
# Basically encodes any integer into a base(n) string,
# where n is ALPHABET.length.
# Based on pseudocode from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/742013/how-to-code-a-url-shortener/742047#742047
ALPHABET =
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789".split(//)
# make your own alphabet using:
# (('a'..'z').to_a + ('A'..'Z').to_a + (0..9).to_a).shuffle.join
