The Pi always boots at a constant date (no battery to keep a clock running).

I was thinking it would just return the posix date via outlets or a list. Why would Pd need to save the previous date?

Warning: [date] won't work so well on Raspberry Pi startup scripts (no way to save date from boot to boot).
I think the best vanilla way on linux or mac is to read /dev/random into an array using soundfiler.

Yeah. I could use it as [date] is the only reason I have zexy installed right now.

wouldnŽt it be more interesting/useful to incorporate a [date] object into vanilla pd, from which it would be trivial to generate unique seeds, but which also could be used in (many) other contexts?

It would relatively easy to add a right outlet to [random]. Another option might be an explicit [seed] object which could give you further control or perhaps some creation flags for [random] as well.

no because you need to add an extra outlet to [random] and prints out the seed value.

if one adds now this behaviour one need to put a flag for backward compatibility.

this could be an idea but one need the second outlet.
