gpg needs more random bytes, so please work.md

This is a random gist that I am typing because I have to ensure that GPG get's enough random bytes using the entropy that these random actions create to create the 4096 no password key that I have just asked it to create.

It still needs 98 more bytess! ARGH, I AM RUNNING A modern family episode in VLC in the background because disk usage generates entropy also, apparently.
