Just a simple routine and helper routine to generate unique IDs suitable for disconnected systems.
It's straightforward enough to generate a unique ID in a closed system, but every now and again one may need to generate a unique ID that stays unique across different systems, regardless if they're in a connected state or not. Had to cook up this shiny routine to handle just that and well here it is in case anyone else wants to save a few keystrokes.

I've been in software development since 1994. Over the years I've learned quite a lot in what it takes to complete the process of pushing out a quality product to customers in a timely fashion. As most of my colleagues could attest, there have been many challenges in our new and growing field in the past couple of decades as the industry matures rapidly. Much more so than most others historically speaking.

As such, I've learned one of the best aspects of software engineering is embracing the change that inherently comes along with it as new technologies constantly emerge to help us improve our world one application at a time as we make sense of the overwhelming amount of data now prevalent in the Information Age.

We truly live in a time unlike that ever known to mankind in recorded history, and it is my hope to do my part to help it along to face the challenges and demands of tomorrow.
