PCG, A Family of Better Random Number Generators | PCG, A Better Random Number Generator
An RNG that's a bit more complex than the good old "minimal standard" one, but substantially better. I am, however, really not convinced about the critique of ChaCha20 here (it's not really fair to complain that it's not had much cryptanalysis because it's new -- and then propose *your own* new one!).
Coherent is now free software. The source tree is a bit of a mess -- but it has version control information back to 1990 for much of the code, so it'd be eminently suitable for a reconstruction project at some point. (However, I don't think there'd be much point in trying to resurrect the utilities for modern use; they're full of arbitrary limits...)

Planets, feeds and blogs | Flameeyes's Weblog
A review of rawdog! I've fixed some of the things he complained about since then (e.g. it's in Git now) -- but there's definitely stuff for the to-do list here.
