SOMETHING was happening... when I went back to look at the script, the Excel process was all befucked... eventually it showed me that row A of the spreadsheet had an eternal line of 4-digit random numbers being generated. File names did not change.

Holy christ. Just bust out the powershell and google.

Sounds like it didn't find the folder and ran on an empty set (so 65,536 lines worth in 2000, I believe). I didn't put error checking into it to watch for that.
Oh, well.

Done, bitches. Powershell script that ought to work.
Replace "C:\testPs" with your root search directory. Tune the 1-100 RN range to your liking. The number generation isn't guaranteed to be unique, but a big enough range should handle that. The largest random value that can be generated is 2,147,483,647.
There's probably a way to cram it all in one line, but fuck it.

Argh. Fucking stupid MS string variable interpolation. The latest one I posted in should work without issue and won't make the names grow out to the right.
Uh, yeah, rerandomization would prepend new numbers. Without some file name convention, I can't parse the randomized names intelligently enough to reverse the op. If there's an ASCII character you can guarantee isn't used in your file names, I can key off that. Just blitz the files from the music player, recopy from the source, and randomize anew.

IIRC Office 2000 was a massively pirated version of the software, before unique keys were a thing. And I pretty much LOL at anyone who thinks they need anything better than Word 2000 to write their grocery list on.
So yeah I was given a pirated copy of 2000 back in Memphis and I've never needed anything else.

Today in the pool I was feeling blah. Two hour school delay means the day was fucked from the get-go... I guess I just do better before 9am that at noon.

Really? I don't wake up until sometime around 2-3pm. I'm ambulatory and moving around, talking and all that other bullshit at 7-8am, but there's no synchronicity until the afternoon. Fuck mornings, they're made to be slept through.

I've noticed my cardio results vary quite a bit, even when I keep my activity, sleep, and caloric intake roughly the same.
