I am trying to use d.totalseconds as a seed, but not getting anywhere.
totalSecs is a double, so try as I might, I cannot successfully
convert the double to an integer without it getting all messed up.
Random.org defeats the purpose of what I am trying to do.
TotalSeconds is the number of seconds since January 1, 1904 at
12:00:00 AM. This, as you might have guessed, is larger than the
biggest Int32 value, which means that when converting you will be
capped at 2^31-1.
You can try using Ticks() instead, which is based on uptime, or you
could try using a closer reference date by subtracting the reference
date's total seconds from the current total seconds.
