in reply to Random Nodes

The default random-node code could use some tweaking... To that end, I created a bit of a workaround that you might be interested in at: Random NonHome Nodes

Not only will it prevent you from landing on a "Permission Denied, Tough Beans" page, it allows you to selectively weed out sections you aren't interested in. It even avoids the a large number of the empty homenodes for you.
