* * * * * I should have known better than to look up Nostradamus on the Intarwebs … Ah, November 1^st! Time once again for National Novel Generation Month [1]. I don't have a decent idea for this month. I've already done the Markov Chain [2], and the two chatbots fighting it out [3] (which included writing a partial clone of MS (Microsoft)-DOS (Disk Operating System) [4] to run one of the participants). Where do I go from there? A quick idea I had was a cross of Time Cube [5] with the prophecies of Nostradamus. The downside is that Time Cube already reads like a computer generated conspiracy rant and Nostraudamus … no [6] … just no [7] … Sigh. I always have my fall back of English As She Is Spoke [8] approach if nothing else comes up.
