My very first ever blender script - da da! Nah, not much but a starting point, something for me to focus on while learning Python and Blender scripting. As per the name the idea is to randomly jiggle the verts. This is just my first version so I put it here so you can flame it… or even offer crits/ suggestions. Eventually I twigged on to loading it into an edit window as alp-p is much quicker than menu selection in script win. Are there kb shortcuts for scripts?
I intend to extend it as I learn more Python so all suggestions welcome.

Great script!
