in A New, Simple Way to Salt your Hashes on Code Spatter
Don't do this. The whole point of a salt is that it's a completely unknown, as-close-to-random string of characters as possible.

As sh1mmer said, introducing patterns or predictability into a crypto system compromises the system's security.

There are many easy ways to easily generate a "secure" salt. Eg:
-Use a seeded PRNG in your language.
-Read from /dev/random .
-Use the ID of an object in your program/script.

Cheers,
Nick
