Auto-generate random URLs

[hafa]

How to auto-generate random URLs in PW? For example when we upload images on Tumblr, an URL to the post is created with a random number "95032257420":

http://twotimeselliott.tumblr.com/post/95032257420  

And an URL for the image is created:

http://31.media.tumblr.com/2142197f5273865770be44723c2a5df0/tumblr_nagyr9INCE1r6ky2bo1_500.jpg

How can we do that in PW?

Fixed first link - it was broken

Why would you want that?

Btw.: Why not just using $page->id ?

hhmm. My interest has been piqued!

As mentioned before, modules.processwire.com/modules/process-field-generator/ is a module I made that does exactly that. Reason why I personally needed it : the ID of content had to not be discoverable and a fixed length. Page IDs don't provide that.
