We are making a URL shortening script that basically does what tinyURL and 
bit.ly does. We are working out how we'll go about generating the code and 
it occurred to me that maybe one of you guys have done this already. The 
goal is as short as possible for as long as possible, alphanumeric, mixed 
case, plus either an exclusion list or no consecutive 2 letters (to avoid 
words).

We're not having a problem, I just want to make sure we've considered all 
clever ideas so it can be as efficient as possible.

Thank you

Paul
