I'm in. #3

Open JKirchartz opened 5 years ago

JKirchartz commented 5 years ago

I was given the idea to combine authors with similar names to create new authors like "CS Lewis Carrol" similar to the Before & After game on Wheel of Fortune - given this pivots on a first name being the same as another persons last name perhaps it'd be easy to find public domain works that fit this criterion. Alternatively, initials in an authors name could be replaced with another author's full name when it has the same initialization. Then I could update my Sherlock Shuffle technique to fit. (Someday I hope to make Sherlock Shuffle intelligent enough to swap out character names throughout a text to make the story more consistent.)

I'll also be working on updating pos2tracery with ideas from last year.

other ideas:

  1. Improve Beatles Bible w/ better typography/page layout
  2. Hackers Dictionary: Regular dictionary, but the words are l337sp34k
  3. Every l33tsp34k: bruteforce "words" by translating iterated numbers into l33t & checking against dict file.
  4. Something w/ Debord/Foucalt
  5. Improve Art Zine
    1. https://triptograph.glitch.me images
    2. Triptographs, but convert the images to SVG to stroke paths & blur for colors behind them
    3. Not just 'Dada Manifestos'
  6. Songbooks ala https://midi-ditty.glitch.me, generative lyrics (lyrics might be better suited to NaPoGenMo?)

pos2tracery is now at version 1.1.0 with a bunch of new features, and partial code-coverage.

I've begun on an Art Zine based on Triptograph which is producing content with pos2tracery and a dadaist poetry generator I've named TT(Y)zara

Also, I'm in the process of perfecting a BASH-based version of https://botnik.org/'s "Keyboards" that I'm calling BASH Bigram Keyboard... it will load a file, if it's from Project Gutenberg the headers will be stripped, then create bigrams for use as sugestions when writing. This is basically a markov generator with an author in place of an RNG.

I'm as done as I'm gonna get - let's just pretend I'm in the Central time zone and came in before November ended.

Sinclair Lewis Carroll

combine Sinclair Lewis & Lewis Carroll (they're both public domain, unlike CS Lewis) using pos2tracery as a node module. pdf html (with latex artifacts)

Triptograph

Combines Christopher Thurlow's Triptography photography technique (triple-exposures), Tristan Tzara's Dadaist poetry, and prose generated with pos2tracery. pdf html (with broken image links and latex artifacts)

Other

Here's the repo with a few more scraps of other ideas that distracted me, although I admit I spent most of my time wrestling with makefiles and pandoc.

Congratulations!

We go by UTC/GMT:

This activity starts at 12:01am GMT on Nov 1st and ends at 12:01am GMT Dec 1st.

Let's give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you finished the activity before then and only uploaded it after :)

(I'll also re-open the issue so people can find completed entries more easily.)
