That's something to work with, thanks...maybe I can come up with some random algorithm based on
the hour, or the timestamp rounded to 1000 or something.

Would sessions be reliable? i.e setting a session when the user leaves and reading it when they
return...mt first impression is no, as there is a good chance the session may be terminated, which
will keep valid users out.
