O'Neill</dc:creator><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;The table on the front page of this site is a double edged sword.  It
helps people realize that generators they like may have problems, but
it also leads some people to think that I'm just trying to aggressively
promote my own work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, let's be clear, it's certainly nice if you like my work, but the
success or otherwise of the PCG family isn't in any way essential to
my own career or life success.  It's an unexpected side project that
I enjoy working on because I find the topic &lt;em&gt;interesting&lt;/em&gt;.  PCG is
free; I don't get any royalties if you use it, and I won't mind if you
use another good generator.  If you don't see quality in the same way
I do, you're entitled to your opinion.  In other posts, such as the
&lt;a href="http://www.pcg-random.org/categories/randutils.html"&gt;ones on randutils&lt;/a&gt;, I didn't even use my
own generator.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what are some other good generators?  I'll mention a couple here...&lt;/p&gt;
