Product Description:

JanusNode (formerly McPoet) is a user-configurable dynamic textual projective surface- that is, a generator of random texts. JanusNodes contain tools for creating new texts, using a simple rule-based text-generation language, and for morphing old texts, using Markov chains or more random methods. The program comes with many rule files, for generating haiku-like poems, blues lyrics, definitions, insults, art criticism, story plots, and much more.

What's new in this version:

It was pointed out that the odds used to insert elements had been inadvertently disabled. This is now fixed.

Cool random text generator - Version: 2.08, 5/9/2008 09:11AM PST

TimA

As of 5/9/08 this VersionTracker download page links to JanusNode, an OSX random text generator by the same author as McPoet. While I no longer see the ability to generate actual poetry, it now has a much better range of choices such as Haiku, Fortunes, Bureaucratese, Insults (my favorite), Blessings (which sound disturbingly similar to insults, TVGuide, Definitions, ArtSpeak (very similar to the BS I heard and read in college-level art classes), and more. Amazing little program, prettier than McPoet, and now, of course, OSX-capable. Easy to use, but with a 70-page manual if you really wanna delve deeply into it.
