I got my rubik's clock in the mail yesterday, and have solved it a few times, randomly messing it up by just turning the dials, and randomly pushing pins. However I looked at the WCA scramble program and don't quite understand the notation. I would appreciate if anyone on here could explain the notation.
Thanks Bearit
 
The scramble order of pins is uudd dudu dduu udud duuu uduu uuud uudu uuuu dddd. Where the order of the pins is clockwise. For example, uudd mean Upper-left pin is up, the Upper-right is up, the Down-right is down, the Down-left is down. After you push the first set of pins up and/or down, you use u=a number and d=number to rotate the clocks. Where u=-1 means to rotate a wheel with a pin up counterclockwise 1 hour and d=1 means to rotate a wheel with a pin down clockwise 1 hour.
 
Thanks for the help, I've scrambled it and solved it a few times, and have noticed that each time I scramble it on at least 1 side one edge clock seems to be the same as the center clock. Is that normal, or am I scrambling it wrong?

Use the scrambling order and they should be fine.
