After a really long development time (too long, with 6 months where I didn't even touch the code), neThing v0.7 has been completed and released. You can view the changelog to see the changes.

A while ago I talked about a possible project I wanted to try based on a site I saw some years ago. And so here it is.

It is a speech profiler which at the moment allows someone to get word counts, sentence counts, and see visually sentence density. In addition, one can search for certain words and phrases to see occurrence density within that visual representation. Finally, one can compare those numbers and visual representations between multiple speeches.

I plan to at some point add some additional statistic features such as unique word counts, comparisons, and other things as I think of them or get suggestions.

So I saw this page which gives a list of 15 Exercises for Learning a new Programming Language. I thought, this could also be a good way to compare different languages. In that spirit I'm going to do just that and try to complete the list in different popular languages. To start with I will do them in C# and Java.

As it turns out I'm much less familiar with C# than Java so it will also be a learning experience as the original article had intended. You can see the progress in Programming.

The in deep thought code base has just reached v0.6. You can view the changelog to see the changes.

I know, I know. I have enough projects already and I never seem to get any of them done... But I just can't help myself. Since I got done with most of the wiki parsing stuff a while ago I got to thinking about applying that to do transcript statistics.

A couple years ago there was a website (probably still exists, I'll look for it in my bookmarks later) that did a really good job of doing comparisons for State of the Union Addresses and comparing them. You could take a word, like Terrorism or Iraq or whatever phrase you wanted and compare how many times they show up in a speech and compare these with multiple transcripts.

I think that might be a cool thing to try.
