Hey,

I wrote a tiny little concept of pronouncable MAC addresses, something like:

ruby -Ilib bin/pmac 3c:97:0e:b1:3e:b7
    nahedimonino

The string will be longer, there's a bug in the code I need to solve eventually. If I count right, it will be twice as long :-( That's maybe too much, but I want not to drop bits, it must be 1:1 mapping. I could make this optional in Foreman, the question is - would you like the idea?

 cat lib/pmac.rb 
class PMAC
  # source sets
  VOWELS = 'aeiouy'
  CONSONANTS = 'bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz'
  PAIRS = CONSONANTS.split('').product(VOWELS.split('')).collect{|a,b| a+b} * 2

  def initialize mac
    @mac = mac
  end

  def pmac
    @mac.split(/[:-]/).collect{|x| x.to_i(16)}.collect{|c| PAIRS[c.ord]}.join('')
  end
end
