I just discovered dynamic patching with GEM last night, and put together this little generative patch.

However, I would like to produce the circles in meandering paths rather than rows.

I know I would figure it out if I just struggled with it a little more but I wanted to see if anyone here has suggestions.

Also, what other things have people done with generative processes in GEM?

When i click the 2500 msg, indicated by "start here", PD starts opening and closing windows and freeze. am i doing something wrong? im using windows7 64, pd-extended.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. It sounds like your CPU or maybe graphics card is grinding to a halt with so many iterations. Try editing the "2500" message and replacing it with a smaller number. Maybe try 100 to start with and if that works, go up from there.
