commafruit.co.uk. welcome.

This idea has been kicking around for months, essentially, webrecipes is will be a recipes database, but since I’ve done nothing for it so far, and I’m not going to have any time to dedicate to the project in the next few months at least, maybe it’s best to announce it now. It’s been sitting online with a little static content for weeks, but with no incoming links.

I really didn’t intend for this thing to stagnate (I’ve got some good ideas - and look at that URL!)

reCAPTCHA is a CAPTCHA^w system using two words. One of them is a known control word, the other is an unknown, un-OCR-able word scanned from a text in the process of being digitised. The form requires only that the user gets the control word correct - the other word is assumed to be correct based on this. The results are fed back to reCAPTCHA, who compare several interpretations of the same scan. Once there is sufficient confidence in the word, it is committed to the digital version. In this way, scanned texts can be human-converted in a distributed fashion.

I just released my first Wordpress plugin: End of Queue. This is a simple little plugin to warn Wordpress users when the last post in their queue has been posted.

Recently I unveiled a new website: Just Barely There. This is a blog consisting of free (libre), Creative-Commons-licensed stock abstract images. The plan is to release them at the rate of two per week. Please check it out!
