Hey. Trying not to sounds too much like a total noob...

I assume that since these will always fit inside 128 bits, they are incremental by nature of the time stamp, but only by that. Meaning they wouldn't start off lower and grow as the systems lifetime grew? I'm thinking if using this (or snowflake) to generate growing incremental IDs I can turn into a short URL via base62.

Im not sure if this is what I'm looking for. Any advice would be *very* much appreciated :-)
