RE: Be a monkey!

[eclecticIO]

I wonder if anyone would be interested in writing a perl script that could be distributed with a screen saver. Or maybe the script could run as a daemon that watches for the screen saver. As long as it finds the screen saver process it can do it's thing in the background and then send (via e-mail, http, etc.) the results to a person or group of people willing to donate cpu time to puting it all together looking for Shakespearian works,functional perl scripts, etc. All of this a la SETI@home. I may look into it, but given my present skills it may be faster to round up the actual monkeys. :) eclecticIO "Given the pace of technology, I propose we leave math to the machines and go play outside."

I was thinking this as well. I am not one to write a screen saver, but one of a monkey typing would be cool (anyone have the clue to write screen savers?).

When I have a tuit or two I was planning on making something that would be a central place to send monkey output and have it parsed. If anyone want to collaborate on this, I think it would be a cool project.

Cheers,

and since it is similar to seti, we could call it smi... or search for monkey intelligence. I guess that would be pronounced like smee... or something :)
