I used to have a cool little program I wrote on the web, called the band name generator. I’d gone through a couple different versions, adding features, and had a lot of fun writing it. Then I lost interest, changed internet service providers, and let it just go away.
It’s coming back. Woo Hoo. I’ve found it’s been a really great way to get myself motivated to learn new ways of doing things. I can take a concept that I’ve thought about in deep detail, and re-imagine it in terms of the latest ideas that happen in web programming.
The next set of “buzzwords du jour” will be “RDF”, “SPARQL”, and “ontology”. That will mean BUPKUS to most of you, but I’m excited.
I got the backend of it working in python, using the fine fine “redland” RDF libraries. Now to get the web front-end working, and seed the thing with some good words.
