FAQs
Q:
My computer slows down when I randomize a really large list.A:
RandomizeList uses the power of YOUR computer to process the list, and if you give your computer an intensive task - any task, not just randomizing a huge list - it may slow down or even crash. For very large lists you may notice a delay in pasting the list into the text field, or for extremely long lists, your browser may not be able to accept the load. I have randomized lists of more than 5,000 lines on a low-power computer without problems, but your results will vary depending on your computer. As is true with all programs, it is wise to save any important data in any open program before using RandomizeList.Q:
Is my data secure on RandomizeList?A:
There is nothing to secure. This is because the information you paste into the text field never goes anywhere. It is all processed on your computer and by your computer. We never see any of it. We never send any of it anywhere. We're not even interested. Honest.Q:
Doing anything else interesting on the Net?A:
Well, I'm doing this old encyclopedia thing and a memory tool.Q:
Who owns RandomizeList and how do I contact you?A:
RandomizeList is a service of Avenue M LLC of California. If you didn't find your question answered here or want to report a bug or suggest an enhancement, you can contact me at brad AT bradhaugaard DOT com, but RandomizeList is a very part-time project, so I'm not sure I'll be able to fix bugs very quickly. Thanks for your patience.Q:
Is there any press coverage of RandomizeList?A:
Funny you should ask. Yes: MakeUseOf.com has a nice little article about RandomizeList here.
