eBooker

[davidn]

I've spent some time experimenting with Tomcat hosts in the lull between Christmas and New Year, and today I bring you this stunningly pointless application:


eBooker!

It is the eBooker! You can feed it a file in TXT, DOC, DOCX or RTF format, and it will extract the hidden subtext of it (i.e. draw out random phrases). You can also post the results directly to your Twitter account and fulfill your ambitions of becoming a curious spambot.

On the grounds of not wanting to leak the book online and piss off Teo (or give away spoilers and piss off future readers) I was hesitant to post the results, but, well, I think that pretty much proves my fears were baseless.

What I really, really love, though, is the way it says "Here are your results. Please be careful with them" at the top, as if by some sort of random throwing together of words and phrases it might accidentally put together the Song That Ends The Earth.

Who would write such a program, and why?

A Prophet of Doom who seeks to bring about the End of the Earth, of course!

Or… merely our acquaintance the Dimensional Stargazer Helios.

Who may also be a Prophet of Doom who seeks to bring about the End of the Earth. Hmm… this situation is much more fraught than I had realized!

Why is it that Anghel-names for people always sound like monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh? :P

"And now, I summon... Dimensional Stargazer Helios, in Attack Mode! His Tera Satellite Blast attack will deal 4500 damage direct to your Life Points!"
"What!? No - that's impossible! Aaaaaagh!"
etc. :P
