Robin Parmar:
Friendly Readable ID Strings
["The inspiration for this recipe is the fact that I hate debugging systems by trying to track IDs that look like "kSbT73oQ". It's much easier on the brain to scan strings like "levokosi". These are also pronounceable, so one can communicate with other members on the development team. "Hey dude, what's up with file sadofabi -- it appears to be locked.""]
The historic takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which could come as soon as this weekend, moved to the forefront of the presidential campaign Saturday.
In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
