Please change that to use uuid4() instead. uuid1() uses the unique 
hardware address of the machine it runs on to generate the UUID, which 
means the result UUID can be used to track down the specific machine 
used to generate it. This has been used succesfully to track down people 
and machines, and for that reason everyone has switched to the random 
based approach as implemented by uuid4().
