Although I've used this in the past, I didn't take time to pay attention
to the tracking number algorithm till now. It's kind of neat; appears to
generate a random 6-char string, but with certain composition -- the 2,
4, 6 positions seem to always be vowels, thus creating a mnemonic word
which I suppose might be easier for internal tracking ("hey, remember
that muhiny bug we were working on..."):
e.g.:
COMINO
MUHINY
FUQAWE
LUMODI
DURINU
I might just adopt this for use in my own product.
