If you only call a random number generator once, then it's little more than a hash of whatever it uses as a seed. And it isn't necessarily a very good hash. So I decided to stop using that completely.

The new approach for picking an image is to use the number of milliseconds since midnight, with a small amount of numerical tweaking. While I was messing around with it, I saw several images I know I hadn't ever seen before. So I think it'll work better, and have a flatter response curve.

As always, you'll need to force a complete reload of the page, or dump your browser cache, if you want the latest version.
