More randomness and the Synology

摘要

In a recent column about my efforts to generate a random sequence of numbers from 1 to 75 I described how I resorted to a labyrinthine system of services and proxies because I couldn't figure out how to do it with Excel without resorting to a VBA script.rnReader Peter Butler figured out an answer. The only issue is his approach generates a pseudo random string (generated by an algorithm) rather than truly random string (generated by a random event, as I discussed. Send a note to gearhead@gibbs.com with the subject "Random Sequence" and I'll send you the spreadsheet. This is cool and very clever.
