Mnemonic Thing IDs

I've just moved to mnemonic Thing IDs. Thing ID 15466, for example, has now become, tn6rc.

Why? Well mnemonics are one way we can do cognitive compression/chunking. But also because ...

• The ID itself carries meaning (e.g., tn6rc = Trexy task given to Nigel with care factor 6 Restart Cluster).
• Automatically finding Things IDs in emails, web pages, databases, logs etc. based purely on numbers can be ambiguous.
• Prefixing numeric Thing IDs with a hash # causes the Thing ID to be commented out in the bash shell and can also appear as anchors in URLs - making automatic Thing finding trickier.
  

Mnemonic IDs look more at home in a 70's airline booking system but I think they're due a comeback - TMTOWTDI - but that's also the point.
