(or random string) should not be human readable?
Well, I was kind of basing my algorithm on last week's discussion of
CAPTCHA, where readability plays a role. It's not like encryption.
So if you limit the alphabet to about 6 consonants and 6 vowels and
doubled the vowel weight, the generated strings would probably look
something like Tongan :-)
But if you need something more globally unique, then I think a string
based on a timestamp would be better.
