Fun with UUIDs

Okay, so I was bored; I used the following command to generate 8 (or less) hex character strings (to use as the first part of a UUID).

cat /usr/share/dict/american-english | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z' | cut -c1-8 | grep -E "^[A-FGILOSTYZ]+$" | tr 'GILOSTYZ' '61105712' | sort | uniq | less

Some of my favorites:

Hey K, hey B :)

K - Yeah, I try to pick out words that are appropriate for what I'm doing (we use UUIDs to track changes in our dev environment). b100d13d and de5s01a7e made it into the mix today :)

B - The other one is equivalent to a diary. I'm trying it out in place of a paper journal.
