One of the interesting things I did when tweaking something on a website was to 
include a piece of code which does exactly that.

Each visitor is given a different email address.  It's made up of their IP 
address, the Unix time and a partial hash value, encrypted with a private 
Serpent-256 key.

Decrypting those addresses has been interesting.
