Notice anything different? You should, because I’ve redesigned the whole website. That’s right: I’ve crossed over from “pretty boring” to “slightly less boring than before;” this time around, I’ve cut out some doodles of mine and pasted them around the website (digitally speaking, of course). Yes, believe it or not, for the past two months I have been working on the website–I’ve just done a miserable job of updating you (the webcrawlers and one or two friends I’ve coerced into visiting this site regularly).
[NOTE: To avoid copyright infringement, I've changed the name of the Thesaurusizer to the Thesaurifier. I preferred the previous one, but someone already has a hold of it on the Net. Just be grateful I didn't name it the Thesaurinator like I almost did, and would have, had it not sounded like a stupid bathroom joke.]
For starters, I’d like to point out the Thesaurusizer. It’s basically a program that rewords phrases for you. For example, if you don’t particularly like the way the first line of A Tale of Two Cities starts, you can plug it into the Thesaurusizer and read an entirely new beginning:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness
Becomes:
It was the outflank of multiplication, it was the worst of times, it was the eld of wisdom, it was the long time of folly
And if your children’s story doesn’t really have that kick that you want, give the Thesaurusizer a spin:
Rover the happy dog lives in a big box
Becomes:
Wanderer the felicitous frump survives in a self-aggrandising box
If your word comes up with a confusing synonym, simply click on it, and the Thesaurusizer will attempt to find a new one for you.
The program’s not completely reliable, which is evident from only one or two uses, but it helps to pass the time if you’re a little bored. I plan to continue to work on it, so expect to hear back from me on the topic. If you have any suggestions, find any bugs, or just want to comment on the program, you can do so here.
Oh, and for those of you who want to know what the old site looked like, I’ve archived it.
