The Randomly Generated Blog Engine
The idea for this came from the hilarious story (and output) of Scigen, which is a CS research paper generator.
Since I started with this, I've learned of MathGen, which is a generator of Mathematics research papers.
randblog expands this to a new format: blogging. The idea is to continually follow technology news and generate
pseudo-sensical news articles from them.
The current software is a combination of Python and Ruby. The Python part uses gevent, feedparser, bs4, pymongo, and mongoengine
to follow the RSS feeds of sites, parse the entries for article text, extract word usage (n-gram) statistics from the entry
text, generate candidate articles, and store the whole thing in a MongoDB database. The Ruby/Rails part is still in early stages of
development, but will mainly be used for administrative tasks, like approving articles and OAuth authorization to a blogger account.
