Infinte Monkeys v1.80
Hi all. I wanted to plug the newest version of Infinite Monkeys. This release features some of the neatest conveniences you’ll ever find in an n-gram generator.
Firstly, because Infinite Monkeys is a standalone local executable, you can now load and save ‘biases.’ The biases are saved n-gram states. For instance, I have a new book I’ve been working on which utilizes the Language of Eden. The LoE is basically composed of the following texts: all my work, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Hosea, Zechariah, The Book of Daniel, and of course, Revelation. Since it is a major inconvenience to have to ‘re-eat’ all of these texts every time you load up the program, I made it so that you can save the n-gram data and reload it whenever. You can also add to the corpus later and if you want to.
One minor glitch with this may be that if you do not specify the “.txt” extension, IM may not be able to find the file. You can always go back and rename it though, something to be on the lookout for.
Also, I have added a rather clumsy BiasMaster which allows you to cycle through n-gram data, and edit it from within a rather crappy and none too elegant GUI. I’m an in the midst of thinking of a smarter way to accomplish this. Please bare with me.
One last thing. I have updated the manual to include all the info you need to get started with n-grams. Another neat feature: n-grams can be called from within scripts. For example:
#NG[250]
…would produce 250 words worth of n-gram garble.
Thanks and enjoy, and if you feel so inclined, feedback is appreciated. One issue is load times on files which will cause windows to appear to be ‘NOT RESPONDING’. If you wait long enough, I assure, windows will respond. Apologies.
Until I switch to GTK,

Leviticus chapter ten
I’m not gonna lie: Leviticus is a big-time slog. Here’s chapter ten. Next week: Numbers.

he has lost himself. the shadow of an eclipsed man. value no less fundamental. than the truths he does not reveal. and the ruins of his fallen world falls into the power of a devil. knowing nothing of the details. he holds that violence is transcendence. a flying head cut off at the neck.
the ego is an invalid seeking a painless suicide.

A more explicit knowledge of alarm.
In its formation. To assist the act,
the conversation of the world, the word
repressed. The dream. The figures, which remain
unrealized. The living. I observe
in April, they betray the knowledge of
the dream, the bottom of the bees, a worm.
In dream formation. Many other dreams
in its expression, as a mould. The word.
Her grub, the current of grandeur. The word.
The first in one organic whole, a king,
a worm. The tiny creature is decayed.

Gateway
Desolate farmland.
Moonlight off the edge of the water.
Welcome to the gateway.
Strangers in gloves,
barefoot on a bed of flowers.
The sword of Aurora,
at the bottom of a paper cup.
We in black ash,
his eyes, their country.
Fall into the valley,
wake up in the air.
Your language shall melt diamonds,
the cherry trees a dream.
You always sing of the richness of the river.

I’ve toyed around with translation software and the homophonic translations the Oulipo people have written about and never felt satisfied with my results. I thought I’d give it another shot, thinking that perhaps I didn’t work with these techniques long enough to develop any facility with them. Anyway, this is a poem called Halcion run through Google translation multiple times, and translated back to English after every translation. I saved the English translations and used what I wanted from them. I stripped out what I didn’t want, and changed the order of lines and phrases but didn’t add anything.
Leviticus chapter one & with[in] Exodus chapbook
So I finally got around to uploading with[in] Exodus to the chapbooks page. Go check it out, and check out some of the other awesomeness while you’re there!
Also, I’ve started working my way through Leviticus, and it’s… going. Here’s chapter one, just because it’s Thursday.

I think bigrams are indeed too heavy to author with, makes it too hard to write a quick poem. Uh… no disrespect, Biggie…

Remember that the censor, has exposed
the whole abdomen. Others are between
the presentations of perusal. They
contain the explanation of a wish.
In touch, the larva of the human mind,
control the psychic life. In vain. A good
example of the other hand, the way
along the language of the cork. The more
were, for her to conceive a child, the way
in, and the water by the wedge, in good
condition, has aroused in us. The dry
descriptions of the mother from her own?
