We needed a new_haven.rb logo... the decoded version of the above is
my proposal.

A one liner will decode it. The functional ruby is shorter than the
above string, and only consists of 3 functions. (Two of which are
related)

print the decoded version and your source, and get your brownie points
for the week :)

My stab in the dark would be to start with the idea that this is an
URL, since it is so tiny.

No, it's some ascii art with some text that you can see on this very
page mixed in between the decorations.

You'll need to do some decoding to get to it, but it's only a matter of
a single bit of arithmetic (in the form x + c) which will get you the
answer.

Of course, you'll need to translate the data into a different form,
first.
