Ack. Too much use of "su" within my shell...

Well the cap is just for setting limits.  If you'll take a closer look
the use of a random bool function will control weather or not the
curve moves up or down. The momentum determines how often the curve
has the chance to change directions. I'm thinking there should also be
a way to add jitter in there somewhere, but haven't quite figured out
where that would fit in.
