I was just introduced to shorl.com,
yet another URL shortening service. But they have a very interesting
way to try to make the shortened URL memorable, which they call koremutake.
I wrote a (very) quick and (equally) dirty Python module to translate
koremutake: koremutake.py.
It can be imported as a module, or used as a shell tool:
Basic usage:
$ koremutake.py -k "koremutake"
'C4N%
$ koremutake.py -b "'C4N%"
koremutakeIt can be used as a pipe, too (in this example it is shown
to be fully reversible):$ koremutake.py -b | koremutake.py -k
hello world
hello world
How, um … useful!
