But you're also doing something predicatable and repetetive -- moving
your mouse in circles for 10 minutes.
I'm a bit wary of urandom since it will cut down on the search space

I'd
rather just wait.
I suspect that your repetetive circular mouse movements have already
reduced the randomness of the numbers you are generating so
using /dev/urandom may give you similar results with less effort on your
part.
