-=> Quoting Maurice Kinal to Nancy Backus on 27-Jan-2018 04:20 <=-   
      
    NB>> No guarantee, just rather unlikely...  :)   
      
    MK> We'll see come Set. 24.  There should be 99 in a row up to Jan. 1,   
    MK> 2019 generated by the same routine.  By all accounts no two of the   
    MK> UUIDs should be duplicated.    
      
   I'd expect that you'd not get duplicates, using the same machine for the   
   whole set...  My wondering was more about whether a different machine,   
   elsewhere, might not hit the same randomly generated number, purely by   
   random.... unless somewhere incorporated in the routine is something   
   also identifying the source of the message...   
      
    NB>> you had said you'd probably put it out of sight   
      
    MK> I am sure I meant up to Jan 1st. which is what I did.    
      
   I'm sure that in the discussion, you'd indicated the good possibility   
   that it might last through 2018 for the next one as well, but the no   
   chance that it would make it to the next 5Nov one in 2024...   
      
    MK> It was only missing about 2 ounces as I was curious when I bought it   
    MK> whether or not it was worth all the hassel and expense.  Again, all   
    MK> things considered, I'd opt out for the 12yo Glenlivet next time.    
      
   12yo seems to be a good age for the good single malts, balancing taste   
   with affordability... I'd not turn down an older one, of course, but not   
   so likely to buy for myself... ;)   
      
    NB>> If it's out where it can be seen, yeah, more likely to be imbibed   
      
    MK> So far nobody has even noticed.  It might even make it to 2019-01-01   
    MK> by continuing to hide in plain sight, although I don't recommend   
    MK> placing any wagers on it ... especially wagers involving the farm.    
      
   Oh, I don't put wagers on anything... even the sure things, as one   
   really never knows... ;)  I do expect that I'll still have my 12yo   
   Macallan at that point...  I might, though, get something fancier to add   
   to the collection... after all, the next one is a decade year for me...   
      
    NB>> Some things are best bought by someone else...   
      
    MK> Possibly.  The track record thus far has me purchasing the best with   
    MK> only a couple exceptions that happened over 20 years ago and my memory   
    MK> isn't as good as it used to be ... that is if my current memory serves   
    MK> me right about past memory.    
      
   There is that bottle that your daughters bought you... in that over 20   
   years ago category, to be sure... ;)   
      
    NB>> It tends to compress them away....?   
      
    MK> They usually are ignored which makes scripts and code misaligned and   
    MK> thus hard to read and decypher.    
      
   Ah... pretty much what I was thinking... ;)   
      
   ttyl       neb   
      
   ... Shake a family tree, and some nuts are sure to fall out!
