...and now I need to update My website

So yeah I'm pretty well into updating my blog... but...

My people are telling me I should really be updating my website; which is a shame.

Websites aren't really me. Blogs fit my "I have a concrete though that I want to share with the world" mentality better than a website. I can't get websites to look perfect. I'm just not in my element making a website-

But to be fair... it would be better to give my Web games a proper home. So my next mini project when I don't want to do work that I should be doing work on will have to be my website.

Speaking of things to do while I should be working: (if you have python...)

"that from the skies, and dived for in the deep waters connecting with it. Oh, thou clear spirit, of thy teeth-tiered sharks, and the band deck"

"humorously or in the sea after them; to some hurried order by the massacre made upon them a care-killing competency. But Death plucked down some elder"

"joy-- "The ribs and terrors in his rear is the present irrespective of all her keel and her bread, and beef, and bread, during which unexpected"

Markov Chains Based on the text of Moby Dick

If you are familiar with 'horse_ebooks' you are oddly familiar with what I'm talking about. Basically I'm using the same algorithm in python generate these sentences from the entire text of Moby Dick. Why Moby Dick you ask ? Markov chains work best with a large sample pool of text and Moby Dick is the largest-ish sample of text in he English language (it's comparable to the bible in size).

So well, that's what I seeded a modified Markov chain text script I grabbed from the internet with; It was a fun "30 minute distraction" project.

... now I just need to make it into a twitter bot...
