Notice that the Gaussian based random function is magnitude sensitive. What the function I gave was attempting to do was use the wider swing in the less significant digits to provide a pseudo-type randomness (the 7th and 8th digits vary between 0 and 99). By adding in the millisecond clock to these two digits, you help make it a different value each sweep through. Not exactly a nice random function by mathematical standards, but perhaps random enuf.
