Oh noes is right! I'd also have to be a genius to keep up with your blog (luckily, well, you know...). I think the algorithm is messed up, and reminds me of those grammar checkers WordPerfect used to have. I wrote an English paper in high school, and went with the grammar checker's suggestions to get my "reading level" down to a 12th grade rating. My teacher graded it, and said I used too many simple clauses. That's the last time I trusted a grammar checker.
This thing must use something similar, and grades on length of blog posts and how many run-on sentences you choose to use. I ran a hard sciences blog through this thing, and it came back at "high school level," so I don't even think the algorithm cares about vocabulary. I bet every single German blog requires genius level!
That sounds about right. I ignored this when I first saw it but when Sinner posted it and I saw your comment I could not resist checking it, and then the mischief factor of the result was just too tempting (mischief usually is).
Hi Pet, I really miss your blog entries and everyone misses you on the wheel. I know how life can be, though. That setup is temporary. The new house will give me a whole room for this stuff. I estimate three times as much space for hardware, at least one more PC, two more monitors, and some other peripherals. I will also have some bench space for building more toys. I may never see the sun again.
Does that mean dummies like me can't read you any more? Oh, noes!! I come here every day. Love your blog Joe.

ReplyDeleteHey! Since when did Mac have a blog!? Nobody tells me nuffem these days!
ReplyDeleteHeh. I just wandered over there. Cool rig for the 'puters *drulz*
Oh, and work is still sucking the life out of my blog.
Feh.
