It's All Been Done
17 Feb, 2004
Last year I had some fun with Markov chains when I put together my own random word generator.
As the number of posts on this weblog has ballooned past 300, it occurred to me that it would be fun to apply two word Markov chains to my own writing, and see what comes out. File this under one of those "When I have a few hours to kill" projects, which really means "When I have an entire weekend to kill."
Well, I should have known better - somebody's already done it, in Perl. Behold, MarkovBlogger!
What delightfully intelligent-sounding yet completely incoherent things it says! I can't wait to see what I sound like as Zippy the Pinhead. Somebody who knows Perl (meaning: not me) could probably massage jjohn's code into a Movable Type plugin that operates directly on the mt_entries table.
