When I say "Random Stuff" I'm talking about things like
Random Image Displayers, Random Link Generators, etc. These scripts are good
to use on sites that get lots of traffic and sites where the admins want their
customers to get different pictures and options when they load the page. Many
of these scripts require Server Side Includes.
Your basic Random Image Displayer and then some; allows admin to specify alternate text
and a link to go with each link. (Similar to Banner Ad Rotator but not really...) great
if you have Server Side Includes. (No Demo Available)
Random Image Displayer - By Matt Wright
Displays a different image taken from a list (created by the admin) each time
the page is loaded without using Server Side Includes. The list of pictures
are within the CGI which is good since there's only one file to run the script, but
bad because this makes editing the picture list a little difficult. Also works
with Backgrounds.

Random Text - By Matt Wright
Each time the page is opened the script opens another file full of random quote and
comments and selects one. Entries can include HTML so technically this script could
be set up so your users load and view an entirely different page each time they
load your page. Requires Server Side Includes. Demo on main page.
Random Link Generator - By Matt Wright
Takes users to a different link each time they click on one link pointing to the
CGI script. Doesn't require Server Side Include which is nice but there's really
not to much you can do with this script except for giving out random links.
