Implementing the Blum Blum Shub algorithm was my first real programming task for a gaming website in 95.

Way too slow on Alphas at the time for primary use but OK for seed at the time.

I still remember SGI publishing LavaRand, using lava lamps and cc'd cameras as an entropy source around the same time.
